Ek Bar Phir Dil Do Hockey Ko.
Jalandharies have always supported and loved the game of Hockey. Most of you know that Hockey world cup starts on 28th Feb 2010. This is a right time to let know people who are not aware of Jalandharies's contributution to the game of Hockey.
In the world of field hockey, it's almost impossible that any player or fan is ignorant about Sansarpur. This is not the name of any player or any big city. It's a small village in Punjab. The quote "actions speak louder than the words" pertinently sums up this village.
This village feels proud because it has given 14 Olympian hockey stars to the world. An interesting fact about this village is that all the 14 Olympians bear same surname "Kular" and all were from the same street in this village of Sansarpur. The village is located just outside of Jalandhar in Punjab.There was a time when national and international hockey matches were impossible without including players from Sansarpur. Once it was called the "Nursery of Indian hockey." Sansarpur boasts eight gold medals, one silver, and six bronze medals in the Olympic Games and four gold and eight silver medals in the Asian Games. Five Olympians have also won the Arjana Award, which is the highest sports award in India.
