Growing up, Hathaway and his older brother Ephraim were fans of theWashington Capitals of theNational Hockey League (NHL), as their uncle, Greg Shove, had once worked with Capitals ownerTed Leonsis.[5] Hathaway played hockey all four years atPhillips Academy Andover, acollege-preparatory school inAndover, Massachusetts, where he played on a line with futureNew York Rangers skaterChris Kreider.[6][7] Hathaway served as one of the Phillips Academyteam captains during his senior season in 2010, and led the team in scoring with 37points.[8]

During the summer after his sophomore year, Hathaway and his Bears teammate Mike Juola purchased and operated alobster roll cart.[10]

TeammateDerek Grant added, "At the end of the day, it's probably the least respectful thing you can ever do to somebody."[30]
