So hockey was born again.

Two coaches -- Rahul and Alam -- along with this writer saw the take off of hockey today, Monday, the 4th April 2011. School PET Ajay co-ordinated the effort.

Starting from 9 in the morning upto 13.00 hrs school children of class 6th and 7th, who had their PT period, were asked their willingness to join hockey team.

Those who nodded yes were given sticks and ball, with both coaches putting them through the drill.
