FIH Star Awards: Indian men’s hockey team captain Harmanpreet Singh and legendary goalkeeper PR Sreejesh expressed their gratitude to die-hard Indian hockey fans who voted for them to win the FIH Player of the Year Award and FIH Goalkeeper of the Year award respectively, on Friday at a glittering ceremony in Muscat, Oman. 

The duo remarked that 2024 is a 'special' year as the Hockey India League is being revived, which they believe is the right direction forward in their endeavour to change the colour of the medal in the 2028 LA Olympics.

"I truly believe this is the start to many good things to come for Indian Hockey. We were all looking forward to the Hockey India League start and somewhere I believe our Olympic performance propelled the initiative with many stakeholders showing interest after this big victory in Paris. We are grateful to Hockey India for backing us in the FIH Star Awards and also for their efforts in reviving the Hockey India League," expressed Harmanpreet Singh.
