Both teams, India and Holland scored eight points in four matches. The Holland received four penalty corners. Hence, Holland was able to exchange one, while India could not come up with any. Holland could not grasp on to the lead for long because India equalized within two minutes of recommencement.

Holland hockey team was able to get their first penalty corner in the 16th minute of the second half but failed to switch it because Shivender Singh gathered an extended ball from Dilip Tirkey and went past competitor goalkeeper Stockmamm before sending the ball into the net. Holland hockey team got another chance in the very next minute and Geert Jan Derikx sent the bounce back to goalkeeper whose name is Baljit Singh. In this way, Holland got a lead once again with 2-1 lead.

The Indians regrouped and managed them. They equalized the score in the 20th minute of the second half when Prabhjot Singh sounded the position after receiving a long pass from skipper Sandeep Singh.

Indian goalkeeper Baljit showed positive performance against Germany in previous hockey match between India and Germany. He continued to maintain his impressive performance and actions in this hockey match between India and Holland as he warding off 4 penalty corners as well as he was able to stop crucial hits from Hockey players of Holland. On the other hand, the Dutch received their third and fourth penalty corners by the end of the match but Goalkeeper Bijit was fully alert and he successfully frustrated Holland team.

Holland had most of the ball strokes in their control in the first fifteen minutes of the first half. In this way, Holland dominated the game only for a short period of time. After that, Indian players depended on counter attacks and Holland team was under strong pressure that was created by the Indian team. Indian promotes Rajpal, Prabhjot, Shivender and Gurbaj who tried to dominate the game by led the attacks but they were failed to get a great deal of achievements.

Indian team could have accomplishments but Shivender missed a golden chance in the 30th minute of the game when he failed to catch a pass from Tushar Khandekar who was very close to the striking spot. Indian Hockey team was keen on winning. On the other hand, Holland played an attacking game. In addition, the Dutch have looked solid in their game. However, Indian team holds Holland with 2-2.

If I had to guess the hockey results of second leg of its tournament, this is possibly what I would see as my securest calculations.

Girls hockey players MUST get stronger, faster and fitter this off-season if they want to take their game to the next level.

If girls address these 3 key components in their hockey workouts this summer, they will be a better player once September rolls around.

Hockey-specific strength training is the most fundamental component of off-season off-ice player development and must be built BEFORE speed and conditioning.

Without a solid foundation of strength and stability in place, young female players will NOT be able to use their speed and fitness to their greatest extent and will NOT be able to perform at the highest level both on and off the ice.

However, coaches and parents of young female players have some concerns about strength training.

Let’s look at each of the 4 most common concerns in more detail.

Concern #1: With no body checking in the female game, off-ice strength training isn’t necessary.

‘No body checking’ doesn’t equal ‘no body contact’. Since female hockey players are not allowed to use body checking as a means of separating the opposition from the puck, they must rely on their speed and body positioning in order to do so. By participating in a properly designed strength training program, female athletes will develop the total body strength needed to win races for the puck and battles along the boards.

Concern #2: If I start strength training, I am going to ‘look like a man’.

Fundamental physiological differences between genders makes ‘looking like a man’ virtually impossible for female athletes. Females have fewer muscle fibres and much less testosterone than males, which makes gaining large amounts of lean muscle extremely difficult. Furthermore, gaining a large amount of lean muscle mass requires very specific programs that are not effective in young athletes due to their lack of physiological readiness for this type of training and their lack of strength training experience overall.

Concern #3: Starting strength training at a young age will lead to injury.

Females are no more likely to be injured while performing strength training than males. Young athletes tend to get injured when they receive poor instruction on technique or are exposed to a level of training that is inappropriate to their age and ability. Proper instruction of correct techniques, coupled with a safe and gradual progression of intensity, will actually help to prevent injuries both on and off the ice.

Concern #4: Males strength train. Females don’t.

Perhaps more important than the structured physiological development of a young female hockey player is the proper psychological development. Young females are constantly bombarded with images and messages about what constitutes the ‘ideal’ female body shape. As a result, female athletes competing in sports that require strength and power may be more susceptible to psychological issues related to body image that are not typical with male athletes. Most young male hockey players desperately want to get bigger, faster and stronger. Young female hockey players must be empowered: parents and coaches must let them know that it is to their benefit to be strong, both as athletes and as people.

Proper strength training does NOT require players to push around weights and will NOT lead to them becoming “muscle bound”. They DON’T need to join an expensive gym and they DON’T need use any fancy equipment.

With body-weight strength training, girls’ hockey players can build the strength and stability in all of the muscles and joints that support and power hockey-specific movements.

Body-weight strength training is the most fundamental component to enhancing on-ice performance this off-season.

Leaftech asked:


One of the strangest things about competitive sports, particularly at the amateur level, is the wide range of rules that govern where, when, or at what age a player may compete within certain leagues. Of particular note to Ontario hockey fans and players alike is the eligibility of players for “high school” hockey leagues, or alternatively the junior leagues. Of course, the junior league in question when it comes to hockey in the province is the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).

Recent changes have been implanted in Ontario that state that a player may no longer play in “high school” leagues if accepted onto a national team, or Team Canada. This, of course, would mean that the player was selected to play for Canada during the World Junior Hockey Championships, one of the most important amateur tournaments in Canadian sports. In this article, we will look at the reasoning behind this decision and the objections to it.

Unfair advantage

The main reasoning behind cancelling the eligibility of any player at the amateur level is that he has received a decided advantage. Usually this advantage is restricted to age, in that a player is much better at a certain age than younger aged players. However, experience definitely comes into play when the new regulation is considered.

Essentially, those that make such decisions are saying that players who are selected and play on Team Canada for the tournament receive a higher calibre of training than those who are not. It is similar to the thinking that prevents players from re-joining minor hockey after a certain amount of National Hockey League games; the argument here was that the intense training and team experience for the World Juniors is greater than the equivalent number of professional games.

Objections

Of course, there are many sound objections to the change in the rules. Here are a few of them.

Sport is about competition, and if a player receives additional training through a hockey association this should not prevent him from participating.

A player named to the World Juniors is a major feat for any team, with good drawing power. It is not fair to deny fans of the chance to have a national hero on their home team.

Perhaps the biggest objection is that these rule changes are only valid in Ontario. Other provinces will continue to allow players to compete at the high school minor level even with Team Canada experience, and this leaves Ontario players out in the cold.
