It was still a young sport then in Massachusetts - in fact, Hulme had to travel from his hometown of Framingham to Sudbury to find a youth league.
Hulme stood out, and by 2001, his junior year at Framingham High School, he had made such a strong impression that he was invited to the United States Under-19 camp. He went on to become a key player at Colgate.
