The Malaysia-Singapore Sikhs Sports Council (MSSSC) 1Malaysia Youth Under-16 hockey camp was held at the Azlan Shah Stadium in Ipoh recently.
At hand to officiate the four-day national camp was Raja Ashman Shah Sultan Azlan Shah.
"The camp will see 100 youth of all races from every state undergoing basic hockey training with the objective to not only groom our youth with hockey skills, but also moral values, psychological and motivational skills as well," said MSSSC president Datuk Sohan Singh.
The other objective of the camp was to select players for the MHF-Milo-NSC Junior Hockey League which starts on Jan 9.
The Sikhs have always produced sterling hockey players for the country with the likes of former skippers DSP Mohinder Singh and Sarjit Singh.
Currently, Kevinder Singh and Baljit Singh are in the national training side.
