Australian goalkeeper Tristan Clemons is another 'import' goalie currently playing in the HIL in India. Back off from his successes at selection for international level and club and AHL (Australian Hockey League - Oz yearly super league) achievements, his play has caught the eye of selectors in the overseas league. Chosen to play for the Kalinga Lions, he has been putting in some good performances so far for his new team, whilst donning Gryphon's newly designed first ever helmet which should be available more widely soon!

Harte making an impression in India
With David Harte having signed for the Mumbai Magicians and currently away from Holland playing in the HIL, he has made quite the impression already with some spectacular saves. Such as the amazing p-stroke save linked below. The first Irish player to be selected (as well as the first goalkeeper!), he will be brimming with confidence on his eventual return to Holland and then international fixtures. Planning in arguably the world's strongest league already, there's not much else he can do but win praise and laudits (and a second season or more perhaps after this one in India!), but it will be good to see how he plays on his return and how far he can take his club Kampong in the Euro Hockey League in Easter.
