Men's Hockey India League: Updated full squads of all teams
All eight teams seem to be on a level footing, in terms of the squad quality.
A new era is set to dawn upon Indian hockey, as the men’s Hockey India League 2024-25 is set to commence on 28th December, with the final on February 1, while the Women’s League begins on 12th January.
With the Indian men’s hockey team having clinched two back-to-back Olympic medals for the first time in 50 years, the timing was ideal to bring the league back after a hiatus of seven years. Set to take place at the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium in Rourkela (select matches at alternate venues), the best players in the world from top hockey-playing nations will be present.

Indian players like Harmanpreet Singh, Hardik Singh and Abhishek, as well as overseas stars like Gonzalo Peillat, Jip Jannsen and Jeremy Hayward all earned big money at the auctions which took place in October.
Unfortunately, there are 21 players in total from different nations, who have pulled out and been replaced in the respective squads. These include big names like Christopher Ruhr, Tom Boon, Flynn Ogilvie, Pirmin Blaak, among others. There are a variety of reasons, the biggest one being that the salaries aren’t lucrative enough.
With the quality of Indian players having exponentially increased, franchisees have preferred to spend more on them rather than overseas players. As a result, international stars like Alexander Hendrickx, Christopher Ruhr, Blake Govers and Tom Boon were bought at prices less than Rs 30 lakhs.
However, with the global competition in men’s hockey having risen, a lot of quality players were available to franchisees for replacing those who have withdrawn. While the absence of certain marquee players might take some sheen away from the tournament, it will surely not affect the intensity we will fitness on the field.
