Upcoming Men's FIH Hockey World Cup Will Arrange more Aggressive

Indian female hockey squad defence Deep Grace Ekka says competing against teams that are strong within The Netherlands during the upcoming away portion in the FIH Pro League could help the team adjust to the environment and make preparations for the World Cup in July.

India is scheduled to take on Belgium, Argentina, Netherlands and the United States this month at the FIH Hockey Pro League.

The moment that Russian Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia Vladimir Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine just four days after the "Russian Olympic Committee" (ROC) fell short of winning the gold medal game of the ice hockey for men at the 2022 Winter Olympics, the consequences went beyond the doping scandal Ukraine's athletes have faced in recent times.

In the event that the ROC team fell to Finland in Beijing this past February or four years ago at the time the "Olympic Athletes from Russia" took home gold, nobody believed in the truth regarding who these athletes were and what they actually represented. It was despite being banned from wearing flags or uniforms bearing the Russian flag or uniform because of sanctions that were imposed following the McLaren Report revealed evidence of Doping by the government in the country.

This year this year, the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) has gone a step furtherin banning Russia as well as Belarus from participating in any competitions. The event in Finland begins on Friday.

"We were incredibly shocked to see the images that have come out of Ukraine," IIHF President Luc Tardif said in a statement that announced the move back in February. "I have been in close contact with the Ice Hockey Federation of Ukraine, and we hope for all Ukrainians that this conflict can be resolved in a peaceful way and without the need for further violence," Tardif added.

The IIHF's decision to ban the two nations came with lightning speed compared to how it conducted itself during the previous World Championship. It took several weeks for the organization to make the decision to revoke Belarus the right to host the event as a result of the bloody actions of powerful politician Alexander Lukashenko's arrest of protesters against his controversial reelection August of 2020.

The IIHF has also taken away Russia's option to be the host for this year's World Juniors and followed that up by denying it the men's World Championship, which was scheduled to be held by Vladimir Putin's home town, St. Petersburg.

For this first time in a long time the hockey fan will be able to be able to watch the World Championship that from a pure sporting perspective will only be weakened due to the absence of an Russian entry, claims Szemberg.

"It has a substantial sporting impact, which is obvious as Russia is one of the leading hockey nations," the official said. "One perennial medal contender will not play. This is like, say, the FIFA World Cup without Germany or Brazil."

"We have a busy schedule ahead of us in the lead-up to the FIH Hockey Women's World Cup 2022, and we are looking forward to it because the more games we play against the stronger teams, the better prepared we will be for the tournament," Ekka declared in an Hockey India release.

The IIHF's decision is it was the "only reasonable decision," according to Szymon Szemberg who is the director general of the Alliance of European Hockey Clubs (ECH).

"To have Russia in the WM (World Championship) -- with their war of aggression, genocide and war crimes, also adding the very close links between the Russian ice hockey federation, KHL to Putin and the Kremlin -- would have been unthinkable," Szemberg said to DW.

A hockey scholar Andrew Podnieks, who has published more than 100 works on the subject, agrees.

"Politics and sport do go hand in hand," Podnieks stated to DW. "The IIHF cannot help Ukraine win the war. It is a hockey organization, and it is doing the only thing it can do to support Ukraine and to show disgust for the invasion... The morality of sport is far more important than having one team or another compete in an event."

However, Podnieks stresses that by exclusion of the two countries in the IIHF, the IIHF has achieved the best of an unfortunate situation.

"If Russia and Belarus were at the tournament, it would cause a huge controversy and much of the conversation around the tournament would be about their participation," he stated. "By not having them here, it strengthens an event where, because of events, there could be no normal."

Today, Canada (2nd-ranked team) has the opportunity to take the record they share alongside Russia (3rd) in full -- in an event with 16 teams in which Russia replaces 13th-ranked France along with Austria (17th) are set to take to the ice to replace in the place of Belarus (14th).

With no conclusion to the conflict in Ukraine on the horizon One has to ask what the impact of not having Russia in this year's Ice Hockey World Championship will be something that fans have to accept in the future.

Olympic Hockey: GB Hockey set for a bio secure week in Holland, Belgium

Great Britain’s hockey players will enter a bio secure bubble on Friday morning ahead of their first FIH Pro League matches since February. GB men and women will travel on four coaches instead of the normal two and arrive in Holland on Sunday. Ahead of FIH Pro League doubleheader matches against Holland and Belgium next week. Their tour comes amid rising coronavirus cases in both countries.

Fans from all over the world are asked to book Olympic 2020 tickets from our online platforms Olympic Tickets. Olympic Hockey fans can book Olympic Hockey Tickets from our ticketing marketplace exclusively at reduced prices.

Players will arrive individually and be Covid-tested at their Bisham headquarters on Friday. Then go into self-isolation at a hotel, with results expected within 24 hours, before they travel out. Preparations for the short continental tour started three weeks ago. Players and staff had been able to opt-in or opt-out and GB Hockey said some had opted out of travelling.

Since last week, the squad had been urged to take an incredibly conservative approach to daily life ahead of Friday’s testing. When the squads are announced before departure, both teams have injury concerns, while women’s captain Hollie Pearne-Webb is not expected to travel. Goalkeeper Ollie Payne, the new addition to the men’s programmer, could be set for his senior debut.

Meanwhile, GB’s participation on the continent means that English club hockey will be without its top stars this weekend, while Surbiton men look set to be without all seven of their outfield players. When the GB team arrives in Holland on Sunday they won’t be quarantined at the hotel, while players will be able to leave the confines in small groups to venture outside.

At the 2018 World Cup in India, England men opted to use their restaurant in Bhubaneswar to stave off illness. And Ed Barney, GB Hockey’s performance director, told THP that the upcoming matches had some of the same aspects of preparation.

“There are parallels with more of the more challenging environments and we drive a lot of confidence from that, said Barney. If you look at the Olympic Games and what it will look like, we are beginning to adjust to that.”

GB Hockey has used a range of mental health support to aid the men’s and women’s programmer since the pandemic, including calling upon an organization which had helped in crisis management around the Christchurch earthquake in 2011.

GB’s matches will be the first marker ahead of their Tokyo Olympic preparations. The doubleheaders against Holland will start on Tuesday. Behind closed doors at Amsterdam’s Wagener Stadium, venue for next summer’s Euro Hockey Championships.

Nick Pink, England Hockey’s chief executive, said: “We know how important this next week is, for the sport, and on a wider context for Great Britain hockey.”

The Dutch Hoofdklasse league billed as the best in the world, was halted last week. The Dutch teams will be tested on Sunday while players will stay in their hotel room. In isolation, until the tests are known. While GB players will be allowed to go outside, next week looks set to be different for the Dutch squad.

Holland men’s coach Max Caldas told Hockey. “You are not allowed to go outside, except to train and play. In that respect, it will be no different. We play hockey in Bhubaneswar. But it is nice that we can play. We are in a privileged position.”

Olympic 2020 admirers can get Olympic Tickets through our trusted online ticketing marketplace. Sportticketexchange.com is the most dependable way to book Olympic Packages.

India men's hockey team achieves all-time highest FIH ranking, jumps to 4th spot

India men's hockey team achieves all-time highest FIH ranking, jumps to 4th spot

India’s spectacular performance in the FIH Hockey Pro League has seen the side climb up a place in the rankings – their best ever since the system was introduced in 2003.

HIGHLIGHTS

India’s rise comes at the expense of Olympic champions Argentina, who dropped to fifth place

World champions Belgium remain in top position

In the women’s list, India occupy the ninth spot

The Indian men’s hockey team has climbed a rung to the fourth position, their highest since the inception of the FIH world rankings in 2003, in the recently released chart.

India’s excellent form in the first three rounds of the second edition of the FIH Hockey Pro League has seen them move from fifth to the fourth position.

India’s rise comes at the expense of Olympic champions Argentina, who dropped to fifth place.

World champions Belgium who in January defeated Australia in Sydney to wrestle top spot from their opponents remain in pole position, with the Kookaburras (2nd) and the Netherlands (3rd) also holding their positions in the top three.

Germany and England remain in sixth and seventh position, while New Zealand, who have earned two wins in their last three FIH Hockey Pro League matches, is static at the eighth place after briefly dropping below Spain to ninth last month.

In the women’s list, India occupy the ninth spot. The Netherlands is at the top followed by Australia, Argentina, Germany, and England.

The new model for calculating the FIH world rankings was introduced on January 1, 2020, moving away from the previous tournament-based rankings system to a dynamic, match-based model where opposing teams exchange points in official, FIH sanctioned games.

The number of points exchanged depends on the result of the match, the relative ranking of the teams and the importance of the match.

India thrash Netherlands 5-2 in FIH Hockey Pro League debut - other sports

On the eve of the match between India and the Netherlands, the talk in the opposing camps—from India chief coach Graham Reid to Dutch midfielder Seve van Ass—was about the unpredictability of the India hockey team. “You never know which Indian team will turn up,” van Ass had said.On Saturday, a completely transformed avatar of the Indian team came to the fore as the hosts hammered world No 3 Netherlands 5-2 on their Pro League debut. Reid passed his first real test against a top team with flying colours as Manpreet Singh’s men bagged three points in the 2020 edition opener.It was a high-intensity game, with relentless attacks from India putting the 2018 World Cup finalists under pressure from the start. “We had got the go-ahead from our coach to go on the offensive from the start,” said drag-flicker Rupinder Pal Singh, who scored a brace (12th and 46th minutes). Gurjant Singh (1st), Mandeep Singh (34th) and Man-of-the-Match Lalit Upadhyay (36th) scored a goal each, while Jip Janssen (14th) and Jeroen Hertzberger (28th) scored for the visitors at the Kalinga Stadium here.The Indian forwards were backed by a defence which performed brilliantly, letting the Netherlands score only once from nine penalty corners. First rusher Amit Rohidas was impeccable in thwarting Dutch chances with goalkeeper PR Sreejesh keeping the ball out when Rohidas missed. World No 5 India, on the other hand, converted two of their seven penalty corners.Just 13 seconds into the match, India stunned the visitors with Mandeep poaching the ball immediately after pushback by the Dutch. Mandeep’s one-two with Gurjant resulted in an incredible start for India with the latter firing past Netherlands goalkeeper Pirmin Blaak to finish off a sensational attack. Gurjant’s goal is the fastest ever by an Indian, surpassing Ajit Singh’s 1976 record of 15 seconds. However, HT could not independently verify the statistics as the international hockey federation (FIH) did not maintain these records earlier.India rocked the visitors again with Rupinder converting India’s first set-piece to take a 2-0 lead.Two minutes later, the Dutch found a response thanks to Janssen’s drag-flick that rattled the bottom left corner.The Dutch looked more like a top team in the second quarter as they pressed the Indian defence back resulting in Hertzberger’s field goal three minutes from halftime, levelling the contest at 2-2.The Europeans tried to continue the momentum but India looked very much in control in the second half, threatening more goals by playing give-and-go hockey and creating more chances.Four minutes into the second half, skipper Manpreet created a brilliant ball, pushing it to Mandeep in the striking circle, whose powerful hit was enough to give India the lead again (3-2).India restored their two-goal cushion when an unmarked Upadhyay tapped the ball into an unguarded net after Harmanpreet Singh drew the Dutch defenders and goalkeeper towards him.Rupinder rubbed more salt into the visitors’ wounds when he scored his second. His lethal flick hit the board to put India 5-2 ahead. Read the full article
