Hockey Ace Foundation (HAF), conceptualized by Tata Trusts and Tata Steel, works towards fostering inclusive development of hockey, discovering young talent and knowledge dissemination pertaining to hockey. Odisha Naval Tata Hockey High Performance Center, operating under the HAF, brings world-class facilities and trainers, including Dutch coaches, a nutritionist, mental-health experts and physical trainers, to provide high-performance residential hockey training. Affiliated to Hockey India, ONTH-HPC has marked the beginning of structured and high-quality international training at the grassroots level in Odisha.

It is a popular adage in Tata Steel, that Sports is a “Way of Life”. That, doubled with community development, does bring forth the best of both worlds.

I wish the team success.
