NEW DELHI: The return of Hockey India League (HIL) is perhaps the news everyone connected to the sport globally was looking forward to. The promise made a year ago is ready to be delivered, the added bonanza being the introduction of the women's edition that will run simultaneously along with the men's tournament.
The leagues begin in just over 60 days from now, on December 28; and the major part, onboarding players through an auction, has been done after a stumble, which was the kind of fear that kept the HIL on the backburner for seven years.
