Yes we have to move with the times but hockey of today is unrecognisable from the beautiful game that was played in the 70s & 80s and even up until the early 90s. It is less about skill (dribbling and short passing) and field goals now and more about stamina, long passing, scooping and penalty corner conversion (To me it is like entering through the back door!).

Hockey today is ugly. Samiulla, karimulla, Ashoka Kumar, Ajitpal Singh, VJ Philips, Baskaran et al had skill.
