The return of competitive hockey to the city on Friday, post the COVID-19 break, in the form of the School of Sports-sponsored Winter Rink Hockey tournament received a promising response from both players and spectators alike.

Over 30 teams across the men’s, women’s and boys and girls U-14 and U-16 categories and almost 200 spectators were in attendance on Day One of the two-day five-a-side tournament at the St Dominic Savio High School turf in Andheri.
