Ranchi Rays have been practicing hard at their home ground
Astro Turf Hockey Stadium at Morabadi and their experienced coach Harendra
Singh is not leaving any stone unturned in the training session. As most of the
players have been playing from the first season, the team combination is not a
worry. However, they will face tough competition from top teams such as
defending champions Delhi Waveriders and Uttar Pradesh Wizards, who will come
on ground with new strategies.
Speaking after the practice session, Coach Harendra Singh
said: “Our team Ranchi Rays is quite strong in all departments in this
season and if everything goes per our plan, we have a strong chance to win the
3rd edition of the Hero Hockey India League. There are many factors with us
like most of the players are the same from last season so our coordination is
very good and all the players have gelled-up together very well.”
South African midfielder Austin Smith said: “Our team
is very organised and well-prepared for the upcoming challenges and all are
very encouraging and spirited. It’s also good to see MS Dhoni in our side and
supporting us.”
Ranchi Rays will take on Kalinga Lancers on the inaugural
day of the 3rd Hero Hockey India League on 22nd January 2015, in Bhubaneswar .
