It was 99 years ago, on November 7, 1925, that the first national body for hockey was formed in Gwalior; and entering the 100th year of Indian hockey, a year-long celebration has been announced by Hockey India.
Highlighting these 100 years has been India's golden run at the Olympics, which saw the team winning six gold medals in a row. Till date, India's record of eight Olympic gold medals in total is unmatched. To go with that, the country has also won a silver medal and four bronze medals at the Games.
