Hockey Team Uttar Pradesh Hockey: Former Indian men’s hockey captain Sardar Singh is ecstatic with the return of Hockey India League and hopes for an edge of the seat auction in two days’ time.

Over 1,000 players have registered for the HIL 2024-25 players' auction with the men’s auction being held on 13th and 14th October, while the historic women’s auction will take place on October 15.

"The HIL was an unforgettable experience; we were in a high-performance environment for an extended period of time, playing against and alongside some of the best players in the world. This created a learning environment for players by exposing them to different cultures and mindsets. For an impressionable young player, there is nothing more crucial than positive exposure,” Sardar Singh commented.
