Once upon a time there was Hockey!

[amish]

I have even forgotten rules.I have played hockey only once in life! When I was like 9-10 year old. I think I havent seen hockey match since like 15years

Star News taking credit of publishing news of low reward amount and claiming their effect is making Hockey players rich now

 

[bbfreak]

In sports worldwide, India is only recognized for Hockey(till today).

 

[mhsabir]

I dont like all such team sports like football, basketball etc (maybe would watch some random match sometimes) ... In Football, I have seen only 2-3 World Cup matches & maybe 1-2 other matches in the past 10 years...

Government now declares 1.5 lakhs prize money. Sports minister says, 25000Rs was by Hockey India and not government.
Sports ministry douses hockey players' ire - The Times of India

Its not clear if 1.5 lakh includes that 25000 or 25k wud be additional.

Additionally Punjab government declares 25 lakh rupees for team.

When I was a kid, I thought hockey stick as a weapon kind of thing to beat someone . Later when grew up came to know that its a game thing And anyways in India Hockey Stick is used more for fights than playing

Another publicity stunt !

Now, DJ Jenny to go nude for hockey team! - The Times of India

 

[agantuk]

Jenny atleast looks better than Poonam Chopra. I say, just go nude. Why announce in advance. Need a surprise factor

 

[rajadeep]

Atleast what Jenny is doing makes alittle sense(actioning off her photos & donating the money to the players)... Poonam Pandey was doing it just for the publicity & it seemed to have worked as she got into akshay's show just coz of it... Another Marathi actress did the same thing but rather than announcing she did a nude shoot with body paint & then announced...
