The Hunter Jaegers were an Australian netball team representing the Hunter Valley of New South Wales in the national Commonwealth Bank Trophy. The team was initially based out of the Newcastle Entertainment Centre, but merged with the Sydney Swifts in 2008 to create the New South Wales Swifts to compete in the ANZ Championship.
The Jaegers were the last to be added to the Commonwealth Bank Trophy doing so in 2004. The Jaegers were coached by Jon Fletcher, the first male coach in the league's history, and captained by Jane Altschwager. The team colours were aqua, yellow and black. The public support of the team was very impressive for a small city.

Famous quotes containing the word hunter:
“There was the murdered corpse, in covert laid,
And violent death in thousand shapes displayed;
The city to the soldier’s rage resigned;
Successless wars, and poverty behind;
Ships burnt in fight, or forced on rocky shores,
And the rash hunter strangled by the boars;
The newborn babe by nurses overlaid;
And the cook caught within the raging fire he made.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
