The most bizarre and shameful news ever for Indian hockey is
that Indian hockey officials did not return the Junior Asia Cup trophy to the
Asian Hockey Federation before the start of the tournament because they had
lost the trophy.

If there was any doubt in the fans mind regarding the poor
functioning of Indian hockey officials, this shameful incident clears all the
doubts and certifies that Indian hockey is worst run sports body in India. But the question that should be pondered over
is, “How on earth can Indian hockey officials lose a TROPHY?” When India won
the trophy in Hyderabad in the year 2008, Indian hockey was run by ad-hoc
hockey body formed by Indian Olympic Association.
Junior Asia Cup trophy is not some pen or pencil that kids
can lose it in school and the Indian hockey officials that time, former
Olympics are not kids who cannot take care of a trophy. This only points out
how badly run are Indian hockey affairs that the officials cannot even take
care of a trophy.
