Delhi Chapter of OTHL: Fifth Anniversary celebrations and highlights.
Delhi chapter of One Thousand Hockey Legs was commenced two years after the innovative project was put in operation in other four centres in India: Kolkata, Chennai, Puducherry & Kanpur.
Delhi, however, showed tremendous interest and the concept of introducing and running hockey teams in schools -- where hockey was not played before -- spread like a wildfire and established itself as the most dynamic and vibrant of all 5 OTHL centres today.
About 900 boys gathered at Shivaji stadium last week end and celebrated the 5th anniversary with their coaches, mentors and volunteers. It was a joy with each one of them engaging in various activities they like, from serious games to lighter stuff.
During the event, costly items sent by Dutch legend Jaap Stockmann were also distributed to the needy ones.
Former OTHL Stars played a friendly match against present OTHL XI, which ended in an exciting draw. The coaches were presented momento.
The boys thanked Hockey India which gave HI President’s Outstanding Achievement Award to OTHL this year, and before that affiliation to the NGO so that it can participate directly in the Sub-Jr National Championships.
Founder and CEO K. Arumugam assured formation of different package for the coming years so that the talent pool of gifted boys are elevated to next level.
