Athletic Hall of Fame
Single Hero
The Hoban Athletic Hall of Fame was established in 1989. Accomplished Hoban athletes, coaches or athletic benefactors are honored in the induction ceremony, which is held every other year at Guy's Party Center.
Class of 2025 Athletic Hall of Fame
The 2025 Hoban Athletic Hall of Fame class has been announced, featuring a group of former student-athletes who have made a significant impact on the school and their respective sports. The class will be formally recognized at an induction ceremony and during a football game during Come Home to Hoban Alumni Weekend on Oct. 10-12, 2025. Additionally, the committee has announced a new award, the Athletic Impact Award, to be given to an alumnus or friend of Hoban who has made significant contributions to the Knights' athletic programs.
Congratulations, William Scala ’71, Richard Lann ’81, Robert Lucey ’96, Todd Sibley ’17, Collen Gurley ’18 and Matthew Salopek ’19.
