Welcome to the new MAX Field Hockey!

Welcome to the new MAX Field Hockey!
 
You will find the same great content you’ve grown to love and rely on, now with improved style and functionality. Check out the highlights below and see how you can make the most of your presence on the new site.
 
DATA CONNECTION
Athletes, High Schools, Clubs, Colleges.  Our new database application connects it all to enrich data integrity, elevate coverage, and enhance athlete and program visibility.
 

MOBILE-OPTOMIZED
All site content now loads instantly and is fully optimized for mobile devices.

HIGH SCHOOL RANKINGS
Added breakdown and analytics for the weekly National Top 25 & Regional Top 20 Team Rankings, including biggest climbers, newcomers, the field by state, and more.  Check out our Final Regular Season Rankings

HIGH SCHOOL SCOREBOARD
A new High School Scoreboard on the homepage that highlights major games and ranked match-ups (displaying recent results and upcoming matches).

HIGH SCHOOL STATE AWARDS
We are tracking the major High School postseason state, conference, county, and media awards from across the country.  To access the awards, go to the main menu bar and select: HS AWARDS – By state.  You will see the awards we added at the top, listed in the order they are added.  Below that you will see a search bar where you can search by state, year and more.  MAX Field Hockey awards are displayed by state below that.

When we upload new awards, we “match” them to existing athletes that have profiles in our system and those awards are added to the athlete’s Player Profile under Verified Awards, High School Recognitions.  If you add a new profile after we import the award list and want the award added to your profile as a verified award, this is a manual process. Please email admin@maxfieldhockey.com and ask us to match it to your new profile.  Please email admin@maxfieldhockey.com complete award lists we are missing and we will continue adding them.

We are also adding awards to the pinned post on the homepage called “High School State & Conference Awards” as we add them, so you can track new awards there as well.

VERIFIED SELECTIONS & AWARDS
A brand new feature of our Player Profiles is the Verified Recognitions.  These are MAX Field Hockey verified and added awards, selections and recognitions.  We will be adding MAX Field Hockey Player Rankings, High School awards, USA Field Hockey selections each year, and major High School state and conference awards.

2026 USA Field Hockey selections, including Nexus Championship (selection & participation), AAU Junior Olympic Games (selection & participation), and Junior National Team Selection Camp selections have been added.  We will not be loading years prior to 2026 into the verified section, but will each year moving forward.  You can include previous year selections in the USA Field Hockey section below.  If you add a new profile after we imported those awards, you will need to email us at admin@maxfieldhockey.com and ask us to match the 2026 USA Field Hockey selection to your new profile in order for it to show up under the new Verified USA Field Hockey Selections.

PLAYER PROFILES
The Player Profiles were carried over from the previous data system.  If you already had a profile in the system, you will just need to reset your password.  If you did not have a player profile, please search and see if we have added you to the system.  If you see a profile for you, you can “claim” your profile.  If you do not see yourself in the system, you can easily create a new profile for free.  Login to Existing Profile  OR    Claim/Create Player Profile
