Hall of Fame

​The USA Field Hockey Foundation is proud to host and celebrate the induction of the USA Field Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2026, honoring seven exceptional individuals whose achievements and lifelong contributions have shaped the sport in profound and lasting ways.

​

This distinguished class includes four athletes — Katie Bam, Jaclyn Kintzer Briggs, Melissa Gonzalez, and Benjamin John Maruquin — along with Pam Hixon as Coach, Renee Chatas as Official, and Alva Francis Serrette as Contributor. Each inductee has represented the sport and the United States with excellence, leadership, and unwavering commitment, both on and off the field.

​

Since its establishment in 1988, the USA Field Hockey Hall of Fame has recognized athletes and leaders who have achieved success internationally and made significant contributions to the organization and the sport. The Hall of Fame now honors individuals across four categories — Athletes, Coaches, Officials, and Contributors — ensuring that all who have played a meaningful role in advancing the sport are recognized.

​

The Class of 2026 will be celebrated in May 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia, in conjunction with the Atlanta Cup. The weekend will also include special recognition of the 30th anniversary of the 1996 Atlanta U.S. Olympic Teams, whose historic participation helped elevate the visibility and growth of field hockey in the United States.

 

The USA Field Hockey Foundation is honored to steward this celebration and to preserve and elevate the legacy of those who have helped define the sport in our country.
