Ohio State is fortunate to have Hogan committed, as he possesses one of the most important skills needed at the college level: deception. He’s a crafty player that can shoot from far and in tight. He got his first point on the board on a fast break where the St. Anthony’s defender was rotating towards him. He shot it around the defender and delayed the goalie’s reaction. Hogan completed a successful hidden ball trick with Cormac Scane Cormac Scane 6'0" | 175 lbs | M | Right Hand Culver | 2026 IN in the fourth quarter. He showed a hard power cradle that was enough to distract St. Anthony’s goalie and give Scane his only goal of the game.

A big and reliable left-handed target around the crease, Hogan finished at an incredibly high rate and proved to be rather difficult for opposing teams to limit. The Auburn (N.Y.) native catches has soft hands and catches everything thrown his way. Between his sneaky off-ball work and how well he mixes up his release points and placement, it’s rare that goalies come up with saves on Hogan, who netted some gorgeous BTB’s on numerous occasions. The ball is in his stick for such a short period of time before it’s in the back of the net, and he often doesn’t need much of an angle. In a 12-8 win over Delbarton on Saturday, he had four or five goals and made it look easy.
