With the India Hockey League under way at the moment, it's be good to catch a glimpse of the many international goalkeepers who have signed to play in the league. Spain's Cortes has signed from Hoofdklasse club to play for the Ranchi Rhinos, Jaap Stockmann is playing for the Punjab Warriors and after a bit of searching, discovered that Germany's Niclas Jacobi is at the Delhi Waveriders. Would be interesting to see if any of the other top country's goalkeepers sign up or if it is just the Olympians who are been given contracts. Great chance for experience as with the talent in play like Glen Turner or Ashley Jackson and others playing can only help raise the profile for hockey which is normally seen as an amateur sport (obviously few paid players!). Surprisingly some of the domestic 'keepers have been recently given the start other the internationals but will have to see how further games pan out.
Here you can see Cortes in action and should be links to other games!
