Premier Hockey League

Indian Hockey is set for a revival. With 5 teams in the first tier, and 5 in the second, games will be played over a month in 4 quarters of17/5 minutes each.

Domestic sport has been horrible in India since the popularity of Ranji diminished. Its time Indian domestic sport got its viewers.

Up until reading this thread, I've been very worried about the state of field hockey in India.

Sohail Abbas played today in a game for Hyderabad Sultans vs Bangalore Highfliers and the Pakistani helped the team reach the top of the league standings. Bengal has played 6 and lost six in the second division

Sohail Abbas, wow, what a hero. Undoubtedly one of my favourite's. The Sultan's have a good shot at winning it, we are going all the way, this is our year.

abbas can certainly can smack those hockey balls, especially from those penalty corners. lets just think for second though. what would it be like taking one in the balls. not pleasant i'd imagine
