The inaugural India Hockey 360 Festival concluded successfully in Chandigarh on Sunday, bringing together renowned North American hockey experts, coaches and enthusiasts to promote the growth of roller, ball and ice hockey in India. The two-day festival focused on coaching education, player development and community engagement, offering participants a unique opportunity to learn from international experts while strengthening the sport’s grassroots ecosystem.
Co-organised by Tulsea Sports Marketing (TSM) and NHL broadcaster Randip Janda, the festival served as a platform to connect India’s hockey community with leading global organisations and professional coaches through a series of initiatives aimed at enhancing player development, coaching standards and public awareness of the sport.
The festival commenced on August 1 with the Try Ball Hockey Activation at Nexus Elante, Chandigarh, where participants of all age groups experienced the sport through engaging skill-based activities designed to introduce newcomers to ball hockey.
The second day featured a Coaches Summit, Elite Roller Hockey Clinic and 3x3 Exhibition at the Sector 10 Skating Rink, Chandigarh, organised in collaboration with the Ice Hockey Association of India (IHAI).
