Terry Horstman
Host
Horstman is a Minneapolis-based writer and covers the Minnesota Lynx beat for The Next and is the host of the Lynx Happy Hour Podcast.

Andrew Dukowitz
Host
Dukowitz covers both the Lynx and the Wolves for Zone Coverage and will continue to provide quality coverage on the Lynx as followers and fans have been accustomed to receiving. A few ways of doing that will be with his The Missing Lynx podcast and The Missing Wolves podcast.
As part of the HTH team, Dukowitz provides coverage during games, post-game videos, and will bring a new aspect of coverage to HTH by providing post-game livestreams recapping the game that took place by adding his The Missing Lynx and The Missing Wolves podcasts to the Hitting the Hardwood Network.
All things Lynx and WNBA. All the time.
