High School/College career

Veltman attended the Connecticut college-preparatory Salisbury School, before enrolling at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. Veltman played collegiate lacrosse for the Hobart College Statesmen. As a freshman in 2005, he was honored by the ECAC Lacrosse League as "Rookie of the Year." During his freshman season, Veltman led his team in scoring. In all three subsequent seasons, he would continue his team's leading scorer. Veltman was recognized by the conference with ALL-ECAC team honors three times, including first–team recognition as a senior.[1]

Canadian Box career

In 2005, he led the OLA Junior A Lacrosse League in scoring with a career high 102 points.

After some controversy about transferring provinces within the Canadian Lacrosse Association,[3][4] Veltman moved west to British Columbia and joined the Coquitlam Adanacs of the Western Lacrosse Association in 2007.[5] During his rookie season, Veltmen helped the Adanacs to a league championship and their first Mann Cup appearance since 2001.
