Lack of funding, athlete exploitation and poor facilities- these are some of the most glaring loopholes in Indian sports. While the government continues to act deaf and blind, our athletes gives all they have and earn medals for the country anyway. This time around, it’s a team you wouldn’t have ever heard about before. Let alone the team, people wouldn’t even know that this sport exists in cricket-crazed India. We are talking about the Women’s Ice Hockey Team. The champs just won their first ever international match at the 2017 IIHF Challenge Cup of Asia, in Thailand.

Neglected by the government, the team was given a helping hand by an online content portal called 'The Logical Indian'. They started a crowd funding campaign and amassed as much as 32 lakhs for the team. While you are too busy with stuff like that, take a minute and pay attention to their existence and achievements, they sure have earned it.  We here at Mensxp wish them all the best in the upcoming matches.
