On Thin Ice: India’s National Ice Hockey Team
India’s national ice hockey team is fighting to win hearts and matches in their quest for international sporting glory.
India is a country where cricket is a religion and the players are seen as Gods.
But it’s also a place where a ragtag team of 22 men are fighting to put their sport – ice hockey – on the map.
Based in Ladakh, in India’s picturesque snowy north, India’s little-known national ice hockey team may not have fame, fortune or even much of a following, but what they do have is passion.
The players all dream of representing their country internationally – and winning. But can their passion survive the overwhelming obstacles in their path to sporting glory?
