Hockey is a game in which the two teams try to goal with the help of a hockey stick. Hockey is the national game of Pakistan. Pakistan is home to some of the best hockey players ever produced, and players like Isslah uddin, Sami ullah, Kalim ullah and others are present to justify the statement. After partition, Pakistan got its fair share of players. Although the new country took time to develop, the game of hockey, with its dedicated band of players, continued to achieve victory after victory with an amazing speed. The then hockey team made the Pakistanis immensely proud on winning the 14 Olympic Games. This was the maiden international hockey tournament in which Pakistan made its way. The year was 1948. Holding all the major titles like World Cup, Champions trophy and Olympics, Pakistanis could boast of having one of the strongest hockey teams in the world. Unfortunately now the hockey team has lost all its power and glory and we have seen miserable performances. But who knows maybe future has got to offer us more and maybe we might get to see the team regaining its pride and prestige. But for this, definitely a lot of hard work and dedication is required by the hockey team players.
The top ten Pakistani hockey players are:
- Islah-uddin
