speech on hockey dying sport

Dear student,

We attend to thousands of queries and due to paucity of time, it sometimes becomes difficult to cater to all the queries.

Here are pointers on which you might want to elaborate:

• History of Hockey. It was first introduced in India, by the British and became our national sport.
• Some of the great players of Hockey were Dhyan Chand, Balbir Singh etc.
• Cricket became more popular than Hockey because it was easier to play on streets and the young population got attracted to it.
• It was difficult to gather funds for Hockey.
• There are very few takers for this game. Some colleges have also decided to strike it off from sports quota.
• There is a need to introduce Hockey at school level and develop an interest in young children for the game.
• Existing players should be given recognition for it.
• There should be increased awareness for it.
