Former hockey

Hockey Te Charcha:  Former Indian goalkeeper Adrian D’Souza has lauded Hockey India's Sub-Junior National programme for its outstanding initiative in nurturing young talent.

In the latest episode of Hockey Te Charcha, Adrian, who had recently joined the coaching staff at the Sub-Junior National Camp for men and women in Rourkela, shared his thoughts on the program's positive impact on budding hockey players and its potential to foster future champions.

Sharing his enthusiasm for his new role, Adrian said, "Just wearing the T-shirt where you have to represent India makes me feel very happy and blessed. But at the same time, it's the first time that I'm on the coaching side, not on the players' bench. I'm looking forward to it. There are good young goalkeepers in the Sub Junior Teams, and I think it's the perfect age to help them with their basics and certain things.”
