Played club soccer for Northwest Indiana United and Chicago Magic Soccer Club. Was an All-State, All-Region, and All-Conference captain for Lake Central High School his junior and senior year. Cloutier was a standout striker coming out of high school, and battled through injuries to make 38 appearances for USI between 2008 and 2011.
Quote from USI coach, Mat Santoro: Shane was a talented player, and he parlayed that into successful coaching with dedication and character. It has been a pleasure to coach him and to work alongside him, and North Park is getting a great addition to their already superb program.
