The Hotchkiss history bowl program, from The Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, CT, known as Team Coldhug, was established during the 2018-19 academic year. Though the "Polardogs" won the NHBB New England regional championship in their inaugural season, their most notable achievement to date came when freshman Cooper Roh carried them to a 2nd place finish at the 2019 National History Bowl finals in the JV division after an impressive "Cinderella" run in the tournament. They finished runners-up to a #1-ranked Hunter College A team that was led by Pedro Juan Orduz.
Origin of "Coldhug" nickname
- Their team nickname/pseudonym is a pun of sorts on the school's name, Hotchkiss. (Hotchkiss = "hot kiss" => "cold hug" = "Coldhug")
- Additionally, the team's self-stylized official nickname, the "Polardogs", is probably a parody of Hotchkiss's actual nickname, the Bearcats.
Current roster
Notable members include:
- Cooper Roh (captain)
- Jack McGlinn
- Yihan Ding
