‘HIL will help in reviving Indian hockey’

Former hockey players feel that the much-awaited Hockey India League will help in reviving the dwindling fortunes of the game in the country. "After a long time such an opportunity has come. Technical exchange of knowledge and skills between players and coaches would help improve the status of the game in the country," former India captain and Olympian Pargat Singh said. Olympian Mohammed Shahid believes that it would be a treat to watch the best talents from across the world in the league. "I am excited to see such good players in one league. Many people would come to watch these greats," Shahid said. Cedric feels that the league would give Indian hockey the impetus it requires to regain its past glory. "This will give a launch pad to popularise the sport in the country again. We have the heart and skill to play the game but this tournament will also bring in tactics which will take our game further ahead," he said.
