SAINT JOHN, N.B. — The Saint John Sea Dogs turned a devastating playoff loss into a Memorial Cup championship, thanks to renewed focus, 40 days of sweat and a university coach who pushed all the right buttons.
The FIH Women's Hockey World Cup 2022 will be co-hosted by the Netherlands and Spain from July 1 to 17. The Indian team is being led by goalkeeper Savita Punia, while talismanic striker Rani Rampal has not made the cut for the 18-member team due to doubts over her fitness. The Indian women's hockey team finished a creditable fourth in last year's Tokyo Olympics and that has raised hopes of a good performance in the upcoming tournament from the the Indian girls.
The tears at the end of the Tokyo Olympics accompanied a historic achievement. A fourth place in the final standings may mean missing a medal by a whisker, but a women's hockey team from India had never finished that high at the Games. It followed a welcome chance to debut at the Pro League, where India finished third, ahead of teams like Belgium, Spain, Germany and England -- winning six of their 14 matches. One vital cog missing in the team's wheel during the Pro League was inspirational skipper Rani. A hamstring injury had kept her on the sidelines for 10 months, before she finally worked her way back for the European tour. But coach Janneke Schopman gave Rani just one Pro League game on the tour, her 250th cap, but the central striker looked as good as never being injured at all. It seemed India's set-up was complete just ahead of two big events -- the World Cup in Spain and Netherlands, followed by the Commonwealth Games in England. The squad was announced with all the excepted names, except one -- Rani. WHY EXACTLY IS RANI NOT IN THE WORLD CUP SQUAD?It was a surprise for many to see Rani's name missing from the World Cup squad, but coach Schopman, who interestingly played against Rani at the 2010 World Cup, came on record to say that Rani is yet to fully recuperate from her injury.
