Times Telegram readers vote for the top returning Mohawk Valley field hockey players

The Times Telegram opened an online reader poll to identify the top returning field hockey player in the Mohawk Valley for the 2026 season. Nominations include starting goalies from Little Falls, Rome Free Academy, and Vernon-Verona-Sherrill, representing three of the four Section III champions from 2025. While the section's 2025 leading scorer, Leah Randall, has graduated, several other high-ranking goal-scorers and point-getters from the previous season are eligible for the list. The sports department compiled the nominees based on data provided by coaches and athletic directors. Voting remains open to the public through Friday, Sept. 4, at noon. Results of the poll are scheduled for publication on the TimesTelegram.com website on Friday afternoon.
