HIL 2024-25: Being Teammates With Indian Players Would Be Special, Says Netherlands' Thierry Brinkman
The Hockey India League: Netherlands’ men’s hockey team star Thierry Brinkman is all set to don the colours of Kalinga Lancers in the upcoming edition of the Hockey India League (HIL) 2024-25. With the much-anticipated league returning after a seven-year hiatus, Brinkman is thrilled to be part of the action, particularly in India, where he cherishes the chance to play in one of the sport’s most passionate arenas.
Reflecting on his upcoming stint, Brinkman said, “I am looking forward to playing in Rourkela. The stadium there is the most beautiful hockey stadium in the world. We played some great World Cup games there in 2023. Good memories.” Brinkman, who is a key player for the Dutch national team and was instrumental in their Gold medal triumph at the Paris 2024 Olympics, is excited to engage with the Indian hockey community.
“For this year’s HIL, I’m really looking forward to playing for the Indian hockey fans. Being teammates with Indian players would be special,” he added.
