Hoar was born at Wellington in 1896.[3] He played cricket for the Wairarapa cricket team during the 1920–21 season, going on to represent the side in the Hawke Cup between 1921–22 and 1945–45. Both of his first-class matches were played for Wellington during 1928–29 over the Christmas–New Year period. Primarily a bowler, on debut against Otago at the Basin Reserve he took three wickets before taking two and scoring 13 not out against Canterbury at Lancaster Park.[2]
