England Hockey Awards
A celebration of excellence: recognising outstanding contributions to the sport
The England Hockey Awards are run annually to recognise the achievements of clubs, volunteers, officials, coaches, and players over the past year.
Nominations usually open to the end of January and close mid April. Against each category is a list of criteria linked to England Hockey Values that all nominees need to meet. We ask for 200 words to tell us why they meet the criteria and should be shortlisted. An independent panel in each England Hockey Area then selects an Area winner. All Area winners will be invited to the celebration event. An independent panel will then select the overall national winner. This evening is where the overall winners are announced; it gives hockey lovers from across the country a unique opportunity to gather, reflect upon, and celebrate.
Nominations for 2026 are now open. Full details and categories can be found below along with a complete list of previous winners, highlighting the outstanding contributions that continue to make our sport thrive.
