Eric Loeppky is the new hitter of the Gioiella Prisma Taranto. After the announcements of Ekstrand, Charalampos and Antonov, here is another new face at Gioiella Prisma for the 2022/23 season that completes and gives a great reinforcement to the hammer department.
Born in 1998 from Steinbach (Canada), in the last championship the North American spiker played for Kioene Padova in the SuperLega obtaining the salvation on the last day. Young and promising athlete, with already a good experience and considerable baggage of technical shots, he has a career tally of 606 points (of which 46 aces). Against Taranto, in Padua he scored 11 points, a match in which the Jewel won 2 very important points of salvation in the away victory.
He distinguished himself as top scorer in the U21 Pan-American Cup in 2017, and is currently involved in the VNL in Ottawa alongside the Canadian national team. From 2016 for 4 years he wore the Trinity Western Spartans university team jersey and won two championships in 2017 and 2019.
