Jaypee Group, owners of the Punjab franchise in next year’s high-profile Hockey India League, today said that it would raise a world class team and provide the best coaches and top-class facilities with an aim to lift the trophy.
“The Punjab franchise we have taken will get the Group’s full backing and we will be able to raise a world class team.
We will arrange best of coaching and other facilities for our players so that they could be trained to not only lift the HIL Trophy but also majorly contribute in India winning major international tournaments,” the group said in a release.
“By participating in HIL, the Jaypee Group has taken a definite step forward on way to help Indian hockey regain its lost glory,” group Executive Chairman Manoj Gaur said in the release.
The group, which also owns the Buddh International Circuit — which hosts Formula One Indian Grand Prix — at Greater Noida, announced last month that it will own the Punjab franchise.
“Our participation in HIL is in a way also redemption of our Founder Chairman Jaiprakash Gaur’s dream of grooming a battalion of young hockey players who will, in turn, help India dominate International hockey for a long time to come,” the release said.
