Last year, in his first year at Culver, Hiltz recorded 126 points and head coach Jon Posner says he's well on his way to blazing his own trail of success. "We've had some great student-athletes come out of Peterborough and they've been phenomenal for us," said Posner. "Owen is a very special player. I would put him in that elite group of players I have had the opportunity to coach in my 21 years of coaching. He is very skilled. He has a very high lacrosse IQ and he's a competitor. If I were going to predict, he's going to have just as much of an impact at the next level as all the other ones we've sent off that have attended Culver." Posner said Hiltz has some skills that can't be taught. "His vision is phenomenal. Owen always has his head up and he's always trying to make a play whether it's creating his own shot or finding an open guy moving off the ball," he said. "What I love about Owen is I compare him very much to a combination of Zach and Ethan. He shoots the ball like Ethan. Ethan has the best shot I have ever coached. He has a very similar release to Ethan and the accuracy level and he dodges like Zach. He's a bit of a combination of both which makes him a very special player." Hiltz comes from lacrosse bloodlines. His mother Jennifer's brothers Joe and Gerry Hiltz were standouts for Peterborough junior and senior teams and Joe had a lengthy professional career. "I think it was kind of meant to be," said Owen. "There was always lacrosse stuff lying around my grandparents' house and my house. I guess I've always been around lacrosse and grew up around it."
