In addition to our Play of the Week feature, once again we will be honoring Peak Performers from around North America throughout the 2024-25 season.

Starting with October, we will be we selecting a Peak Performer each month through at least March. We can continue beyond March as long as we continue to receive nominees.  

We can’t do any of this without your support, however. 

Although we rank nearly 20,000 amateur North American hockey teams on an annual basis, we rely on our members, volunteers, coaches, team managers, league contacts and other interested parties to enter the data necessary to keep our rankings up to date. Likewise, although we do get to see a lot of great games, players and performances every season, there is no way for our small staff to compile the video or statistics necessary to honor a Peak Performer on a regular basis without the assistance of the hockey community.

So, once again we are asking and inviting you to help us highlight top performances that occur during the 2024-25 season by submitting nominees to be considered as our monthly Peak Performer. A Peak Performer can be someone who had an outstanding game, weekend or tournament performance as well as a player who is having a tremendous season statistically.

To have your nominee considered to be a Peak Performer, please follow the guidelines outlined below when submitting candidates:

• Email the nomination to scott@myhockeyrankings.com

• Include the player’s name, the team’s name, the age group and any pertinent statistical or other information that would support the nomination. 

• Attach 45-50 seconds of highlights from the player’s performance or performances. This can be several plays included on one attached video file or a few different plays on several different attached video files.

• Keeping the natural rink sound on the video is fine, but please DO NOT include music or other special effects such as slow motion, inserted graphics, logos, etc. If you are pulling the clip from a service such as LiveBarn and their logo is on the video somewhere, that is acceptable. 

• Please DO NOT send a link to social media posts or other videos that are posted online unless the link is to an actual downloadable file.
• We would prefer to receive nominations from coaches or managers and not parents. If a parent submits a nominee, we may request to see a team statistics sheet, scoresheets or similar evidence to support and verify the nomination.

Please understand that because of the volume of emails we receive, it is not possible for us to reply to the submission emails. There also is no way that we can spend time searching for the information or video we have requested if it is not included in the email. 

The only way to ensure consideration is to follow the procedure outlined above.

Also, there is no need to continue submitting nominations for the same player throughout the season once he or she is honored. A player will not be selected as a Peak Performer more than once.

We look forward to receiving your nominations and honoring more players than ever this season!
