Club career
=Hammarby=
Hopf joined Hammarby in the summer of 2008 after impressing on a trial with the club. He signed a {{frac|3|1|2}}-year contract with the Stockholm-based club.{{Cite web |url=http://www.hammarbyfotboll.se/se/aktuellt/artiklar/?articleid=32610 |title=Hammarby Fotboll |access-date=27 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110617073721/http://www.hammarbyfotboll.se/se/aktuellt/artiklar/?articleid=32610 |archive-date=17 June 2011 |url-status=dead }} During the 2009 season, he was on loan to the affiliated team Hammarby TFF where he was awarded best goalkeeper in the Swedish fourth tier.{{Cite web|url=http://spel.unibet.com/unibettvaan/sveriges-basta-division-2-spelare-utsedda|title = Unibet Blogg | Det senaste inom sportnyheter och speltips för betting}}
He made his first game for Hammarby in the final game of the 2009 Allsvenskan, against BK Häcken, with the club already set for relegation. Hammarby were defeated, 1–0.{{Cite web |url=http://www.hammarbyfotboll.se/se/matcher/a-laget/laget/default.asp?matchid=6830&teamid=177 |title=Hammarby Fotboll |access-date=27 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091102051836/http://www.hammarbyfotboll.se/se/matcher/a-laget/laget/default.asp?teamid=177&matchid=6830 |archive-date=2 November 2009 |url-status=dead }}
In 2010, he started on the bench, being second choice to former Sweden national team goalkeeper, Rami Shaaban. But after weak appearances by the latter, he soon established himself as first choice.
Hopf was voted Player of the Year in Hammarby IF in 2010 in competition with the Genoa-departed forward Linus Hallenius. He was again voted Player of the year in 2012 after an impressive season.{{Cite web |url=http://www.hammarbyfotboll.se/se/aktuellt/artiklar/?articleid=36387 |title=Hammarby Fotboll |access-date=7 February 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110103194141/http://www.hammarbyfotboll.se/se/aktuellt/artiklar/?articleid=36387 |archive-date=3 January 2011 |url-status=dead }}
Among other achievements he won two penalty shootouts for his team to secure Hammarby IF a place in the 2010 Swedish Cup Final. He was appointed Man of the match when his side lost 1–0 to Helsingborg. [https://svenskfotboll.se/arkiv/cuper/2010-01/11/cupfinal2010/3]
