Teams and the Stars
The New Indian Express Kottayam|December 28, 2024
The upcoming Hockey India League (HIL) promises exciting matches between strong teams boasting star players. Teams like Delhi SG Pipers, Hyderabad Toofans, and Kalinga Lancers have assembled impressive squads, while others face challenges due to player pullouts. The league features a mix of experienced and young players, with several top international players set to compete.

Soorma Hockey Club: It is hard to go past Indian captain Harmanpreet Singh in the HIL. Throughout the Paris Olympics and their defense of the Asian Championship Trophy, the skipper has stood time and again. Expect the same here.

Delhi SG Pipers: Under former Indian coach Graham Reid, Delhi have assembled a strong squad led by Shamsher Singh and Australian forward Jake Whetton. The team has seen changes due to a few pullouts.
