Hansen has over a decade of experience in the communications, journalism, marketing, digital, social and creative fields, having covered sports at all levels, notably having covered the NBA and WNBA for more than a decade.

He is a WNBA and Minnesota Lynx writer and reporter for Winsidr, Canis Hoopus and RotoWire, having also served as a NBA and WNBA writer for Sports Betting Dime, Zone Coverage and FanSided after spending a year as part of the Timberwolves and Lynx organization on the content team in 2016-17.

Prior to the 2023 WNBA season, he created Hitting the Hardwood and the Hitting the Hardwood Podcast in hopes of providing Minnesota basketball fans with even more content that they deserve.

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

He previously wrote about the Minnesota Timberwolves for A Wolf Among Wolves, and his other basketball writing has been published by Flagrant Magazine, HeadFake Hoops, Taco Bell Quarterly, and others. He’s the creative nonfiction editor for the sports-themed literary magazine, the Under Review.

Dukowitz covers the Lynx and Wolves for Zone Coverage, as well as the Gophers for GopherHole 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.
