Hunter Potvin of Hamilton, Ontario, knows what itās like to grow up in a university town. āI chose McMaster because itās the hometown university. I loved the atmosphere and campus and the opportunity to play football for such a great city. Plus, itās one of the best schools in all of Canada,ā he said.
āThe coaching staff is great,ā he added. āCoach Ptaszek is a great coach and will bring the juice back to McMaster. Coach Parkes was also a huge help and a great guy to be around. Both of these guys and the rest of the coaching staff are great, and they were big factors on why I chose Mac.ā
The towering 6ā7, 210lbs athlete primarily is a quarterback. He spent five years with the Westdale Warriors (HWIAC). The future history student was an offensive MVP in 2018 and a team captain from 2015 to 2018.
When Potvin reaches McMaster, he has one goal in mind: āMcMaster is a great school and Iām super excited to be with the guys and put in the hard work to bring back the Vanier Cup to McMaster!ā
Dima Ignjatovic
Dima Ignjatovic is from Hamilton where he played with both the Warriorsā football and soccer teams. Standing at 5ā1, 185lbs, he has a time of 4.7 seconds in the 40-yard dash.

He also won a 2017 city championship on the junior water polo team and he played with the junior basketball team that year.
