On this week’s episode of New England Lacrosse Journal’s “Chasing The Goal” podcast, hosts Kyle Devitte and Jack Piatelli talk with HoganLax founder and CEO Matt Hogan.
Hogan began the company in 2002 when he was the head coach of Penn. Prior to that, Hogan was an assistant coach at the University of Maryland, Delaware, Clarkson and the Naval Academy. In 2003, Hogan became the head coach and Dean of Students at St. Mary’s School in Annapolis, Md., a position he held until 2010 when he decided to pursue Hoganlax full-time.
HoganLax’s club lacrosse organization is the Annapolis Hawks, which began in 2004 with two teams. Starting with only U13 and U15 teams, the club slowly grew to over 11 teams ranging from third- to 11th-graders. The Hawks recently partnered with a club in Richmond, Va., now the Richmond Hawks, to assist with their growth and development as players and coaches.
HoganLax is best known for its tournaments, hosting events like Summer Exposure, Hogan’s Hershey, Bay Ridge Brawl and Naptown.
