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:
“I don’t see black people as victims even though we are exploited. Victims are flat, one- dimensional characters, someone rolled over by a steamroller so you have a cardboard person. We are far more resilient and more rounded than that. I will go on showing there’s more to us than our being victimized. Victims are dead.”
—Kristin Hunter (b. 1931)
