Botany Swarm

SWARM MVP for 2026!

NATHAN HUFNAGEL -

Nate consistently brings intensity, reliability and leadership every time he steps on the ice. As a defenceman, Nate does the hard work that doesn’t always show up on the scoresheet-shutting down opposition attacks, setting up plays and giving the team confidence from the back end. His commitment, physicality and willingness to put the team first make him one of the most valuable players in the Swarm locker room this season

Let’s go nathanhufnagel 🐝🐝

The swarm couldn't take home the wins over this weekend and that marks the end of our season 💔. An unfortunate end but we played hard until the end.

Much love to all the fans for your support throughout the entire year 🫶. Let's bring back the hype next season and keep The Hive buzzing 🐝.

Not the result we were looking for in the first game of this weekend but we keep it going and are coming back for redemption❗

Thank you Swarm nation for showing up and supporting, see you all again at 4:45pm tomorrow for our last game of the season 🐝
