World Cup Hockey

After World Cup Football, it is time for World Cup Hockey to be played in Germany from 6-17 September. Premier Hockey League (PHL) has announced a cash award of Rs 1 crore for the Indian team if it wins the cup, 50 lakhs if it ends up as a runner up, or 25 lakhs if placed third. That's a move that is really appreciable. At a time, when there are talks that cricket is overshadowing other sports, and too much of money is pumped into the sport, this announcement by PHL is more than welcome. Now let's wait and watch how much money motivates the team! ALL THE BEST INDIA!
