Matt Hoven is no stranger to SPORT. FAITH. LIFE. We keep featuring him because he continues to do such great work in the field.

His latest work is a new book chronicling the life and impact of Father David Bauer on hockey in Canada. Father Bauer was a key figure in the organization of Hockey Canada and the Canadian National Team, thus demonstrating the broadening boundaries of Muscular Christianity’s influence into Canada and into Catholicism.

Listen to the podcast to hear more about Matt Hoven’s thoughts on Father Bauer and his influence.
