The Masters League Legacy


In its previous editions, the Masters League has witnessed the presence of some of the most iconic figures in Indian field hockey. Hockey greats and Olympians like Mohammed Riaz, Thirumalvalavan, and Adam Sinclair have graced the turf, bringing their experience and passion to the game. National team veterans like Suresh, Alex, and others have also contributed to making this league a remarkable platform for showcasing skill and rekindling the spirit of competitive hockey.


“Come for the Hockey, Stay for the Tea: A ML Tradition Steeped in Flavor!”


Ah, the legendary tea – the true MVP of the Masters League! What began as a simple attempt to warm up players and fans during the first season quickly became a runaway hit. That free cup of flavored tea wasn’t just a drink; it was magic in a cup!


Word spread fast, and soon, everyone was lining up, joking that it must have some “secret ingredient” powering up their game. “Come for the hockey, stay for the tea!” became the league’s unofficial motto. Players even teased that they returned year after year just for this legendary brew!


This year, the tradition continues. So, whether you’re a veteran player or a first-time fan, brace yourself for what might just be the best cup of tea at any sporting event. But beware – one sip, and you’ll be hooked, lining up for seconds like the rest of us. It’s not just tea; it’s a taste of hockey history!
