Hoop Makes Successful Transition From Running to Hockey

By Jeff Steers JTV Sports (February 27, 2022 8:00 AM) Lumen Christi Catholic High School athlete Matt Hoop has made a number of transitions in sports. Up until his freshman year, Hoop did not play goalie on his various hockey teams. He made the move to goalie as a freshman learning through a number of coaches. For two-thirds of the year, he is a successful runner at Lumen Christi. Saturday Hoop closed out his hockey career with a 4-1 loss to East Grand Rapids in the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 3 regional semifinal. This spring he will compete in track and field and transition into running at Trine University next fall. Along the line, Hoop has experienced a lot in sports – especially hockey. “I have met so many friends through hockey,” Hoop said. “You learn that effort takes you a long way in this sport.” Hoop started for the Titans as a junior and had a successful season for the Titans this winter. He had a save percentage of .914 with three shutouts. Hoop earned 16 wins this season for the Lumen Christi, despite testing positive for COVID-19 midway through the season. “My freshman and sophomore year…
