The franchisees showed their keenness for the versatile defender Sandeep Singh as Ranchi Rays went on to grab him for USD 81000 while legendary player Jamie Dwyer was clinched by Uttar Pradesh Wizards for USD 57000.

There is considerable excitement in the fraternity for the event which is growing in stature year after year. The auctions are being held in the most professional manner and are throwing many surprises in terms of bidding and choice of players. The increasing choice of opting for younger player is an indication that the teams are keen to experiment with fresh talent.” Talking on the League and the Auction Dr Narinder Dhruv Batra, Chairman Hockey India League and President Hockey India said “There was no predefined criteria for the selection of players, so there was no restriction on the base price of the players and this decision was left with the players. The auctions have concluded successfully and I am happy to see the excitement amongst franchisee to build fresh teams.” Commentign on the League, Cam Vale, CEO Hockey Australia said “HIL is a very important League across the world. Hockey Australia did not give it a second thought to sign a MOU with Hockey India for the test series and releasing its players for HIL. We are committed to provide our players for the League as this also gives them a wonderful platform to play and www.internationalnewsandviews.com learn from other players from across the world.” Chaitanya Diwan, Sr. Vice President, Star Sports said “Hockey India League has been growing year by year in terms of its popularity and viewership. We are really confident and the kind of support Hockey India is putting behind this event and the kind of support FIH is providing is a big boost to the game as well as the League. Star Sports is extremely excited about the event and we are proud of the fact that we are broadcasting the League. We will make sure we put this across all our platforms and will be presented absolutely in the best fashion possible” Chief Mentor for Kalinga Lancers, Dilip Tirkey said “Since the last 2 editions, Kalinga Lancers has not been performing well and this is why we came with the plan to buy the best possible players so that we can improve our performance in the upcoming editions. We had a prior planning before picking up the players and we chose them according to our pre-set team combination that we had in our mind. The franchisees already knew about the new regularion that has been introduced before they we were asked to retain our set of players and releasing the rest. This change is certainly for the betterment of Hockey. Earlier, penalty corner was the main concern and not the field goal, this introduction will definitely pay more consideration to score field goals”. Talking on the auction, Viren Rasquinha, Team Mentor, Dabang Mumbai said “One of the main strategies to regard the foreign players was to look at top class goal scorers because as per the new regulation one field goal will be counted as two so it was really important for us to get strong goal scorers”. Commenting on the auction Harendra Singh, Head Coach, Ranchi Rays said “Strikers are more in demand as compared to mid-fielder or any other player. We are lucky to have Vikramjit Singh as he is one of the upcoming players and for Hockey India League he will prove to be a surprise package. It was tough to choose amongst the Indian players as compared to the foreign players”. Dhanraj Pillay, Technical Director, Uttar Pradesh Wizards, talking on Akashdep Singh said “Akashdeep’s performance since the last 3-4 years is remarkable and he is also been regarded as one player who is seen everywhere in the field. Uttar Pradesh Wizards was lucky to get Jamie in the team and he will be a huge support on the Forward line alongwith Ramandeep Singh. We hope they score many field goals and give us the advantage”. Present for the auctions, Mr Rajiv Shukla, IPL Chairman said “Hockey India League is as good as IPL auctions. While IPL’s base price is in lakhs, I think the way hockey is growing; the price will soon be in lakhs and dollars. The amount allocated to the players is appropriate and I believe over a period of time, there will be more eyeballs for this League”. Coach, Jaypee Punjab Warriors, Jagbir Singh said “We were lucky enough to get two Captains National captains Sardar Singh and Mark Knowles in our team. from here we are looking forward to the League and see how the new team delivers”. Hockey India League 2016 will have its inaugural match in Bhubaneswar and the Finale will be played in Ranchi.

  • Professional Sports Leagues Around the World and Sports Became a Business with Owners of Sports Teams on Lines Similar to Owners of Companies
    EAMSA 2015 Competitive Paper 1. Introduction: Elite sports, the way we know it, have had a large fan following for more than a 100 years. The modern Olympics starting in 1896 was a turning point in organized elite sports across different types of sporting events. As the Olympics have evolved they have taken in more sports under its umbrella. Individual sports have had their own specialized events at regular intervals. These include the annual Wimbledon tennis tournament that started in 1877 and the Football World Cup held every four years that had its first edition in 1930. Initially elite sports people were amateurs for whom sports was a past time and not a profession. Over the years professionalization of sports took place as sports people converted what used to be a past time into a full-fledged profession. This led to the formation of a large number of professional sports leagues around the world and sports became a business with owners of sports teams on lines similar to owners of companies. Sports as a business opened up different ways to monetize the purchasing power of sports fans and led to the creation of a variety of different revenue models. The advent of professional sports leagues happened in Europe and North America. Europe developed professional sports leagues in football that included the English Premier League (EPL), La Liga in Spain, Bundesliga in Germany and Serie A in Italy. In North America the professional sports leagues revolved around the sports popular in that part of the world. These included Major League Baseball (MLB), National Basketball Association (NBA), National Football League (NFL), and National Hockey League (NHL).
