For those who want to have a hockey team

There are many whop though keep browsing hockey player names to replicate their professional playing techniques, but end up with no effective results. Hope follow up of my write up will end you a helping hand. There are different positions that need to be maintained in order to hit shots effectively. Be it hockey team India or any other team, each and every posture is important and no matter how experienced a player has,  right posture has to be maintained. There are three broad genres i.e. defending, midfield and attacking position. 
 

Goalkeeper: here goalkeeper has this responsibility of guarding goal. A player on-field can make use of either a hockey stick or use even his entire body to block shots that are attempted at the goal.
Defenders: being a defender is something that everyone feels like becoming one and its one of the most important aspects of this game. So, the player needs to be smart, effective and most importantly, there’s no point in escaping a good contact with the goalie.

Hockey is hockey not just for legendary players but loyal supporters

Hockey fans have their own niche amongst sports lovers. Unlike other games where supporters would be loud and boisterous in the stadium and forget the game when it’s over, an ardent fan of the sport would never really part from their passion. They would even watch old matches of hockey team of India to refresh those memories. Most of the fans are players themselves or have played the game at some point of time.  They believe that in order to truly relish the game one would actually have to grasp the stick, breathe in the fresh air and feel the splurge of adrenaline the game is capable of pumping, only then can you become a true follower.
 

They would keep photos of hockey players pinned up at their workspace or bed post and would find time to either watch the local match or hit the ground themselves. They will go absolutely crazy upon hearing the word ‘Goal’ but are otherwise, tolerant, fervent and disciplined, in fact these are a few qualities that this game builds up in its players early in their lives.
 

As it is rightly said, any art form, sport or mode of entertainment is alive till when it has ardent  followers and passionate practitioners. Most of the primitive sports that were once an all-time favourite aamongst Indian masses like Dangal, Kho Kho, Gilli Danda are on the verge of extinction and have certainly lost any substantial representation amongst the masses. Though it flourished much later than that, was also on the verge of withering away after its glorious past came to a halt. However, it is because of its loyal patrons who had kept the souvenirs alive that the sport has seen resurrection. It is the sole reason why the sport could make it back amidst the Indian masses with modern versions such as HHIL. Thus, not only the legendary players but also the avid and loyal hockey fans should be respected for their contribution to the sport.
