2013 marks the introduction of the Singapore International Hockey Challenge.                                                                     Being the first event, it has been filled with many challenges from obtaining the

                                                            venue to getting the right people with some competencies for the Indoor Game,

                                                            which is fairly new in Singapore. 

 

                                                            The vision for this inaugural Marquee tournament is to highlight and introduce                                                                   the Indoor Hockey Game in Singapore which is more manageable and affordable                                                               to the general public. It is also not dependant on the weather which gives

                                                            everyone a lot more control. 

 

 This year, we will be introducing the Men's Club Competition where clubs around the region are cordially

 invited to participate in this competition.  We are also proud that indoor hockey is growing in Singapore and is added to the Singapore National Games 2014. 

 

I would personally like to thank all parties who have made this tournament possible, especially the volunteers  and staff of FTO PTE LTD who have sacrificed time to start something in Singapore. Would also like to thank the staff of the Singapore Sports Council and the Singapore Hockey Federation who have been extremely co operative in managing this event. 

 

I also wish that all participants and spectators have a pleasant experience in Singapore throughout the stay. 

 

Meanwhile, we leave this event with this phrase " You don't have to be Great to Start. You have to Start to be Great" and here's to a great tournament ahead. 

 

Best Regards,

Suketu C Khabaria
