The defense of selected team is very week. Xalco should have been selected to give some solidity to defense.
Dear Editior I am requesting to you for the all teams pictures on one place.So the Hockey lover can see their Heros.Its always pity to see the names only of palyers.In cricket we all knows.I am hoping this site will take action in this regard and publish the picture of selected team.Hope that things will be fine for Hockey in future.We are proceeding in right direction.Before Eery coach were saying only we are working on Penalty corner,defnce etc.etc.But why we are lacking behind from other teams.Our Fittness level and techniquies.It will take time but will be good.Its good to see the new faces and seniors,a mixed team. The juniors will also get experience.Good Luck !!!!
