USA Field Hockey Hall of Fame & Awards Gala, presented by STX

USA Field Hockey is excited to announce that the 30th Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will take place Saturday, March 17, 2018 at the Lord Baltimore Hotel in Baltimore, Md. in conjunction with the inaugural Summit. Since its establishment in 1988, the USA Field Hockey Hall of Fame has recognized individuals in two categories:

• Athletes – awarded to USA Field Hockey athletes for their on-field achievement, innovation and contributions to the sport
• Honorary Members – awarded to members of the Association who have given long and exceptional service to USA Field Hockey and have made significant contributions to the sport in the United States or internationally

For the 2018 edition, USA Field Hockey has created several additional awards to more broadly recognize, honor and celebrate individuals across the hockey community whose contributions have made a major and lasting impact on the game of field hockey in the United States.

In 2018, awards will be presented in the following categories:
