India’s hockey star Harmanpreet Singh voted FIH Player of the Year

Date:

India men’s hockey team defender and vice-captain Harmanpreet Singh has been voted the FIH Player of the Year for the second year running.

He got the award for his goal-scoring ability, which has gone up a level this past year as multiple teams have found his penalty-corner drag flicks impossible to deal with.

Harmanpreet now becomes just the fourth player to win the Player of the Year award (men’s category) in consecutive years, joining an elite list that includes Teun De Nooijer (Netherlands), Jamie Dwyer (Australia) and Arthur van Doren (Belgium).

Felice Albers of Netherlands has been named the FIH Players of the Year 2021/22 in the women’s category.
