‘10,000 People In Indian Stadium Feels Like 15,000,’ Says Arthur Van Doren Ahead Of Kalinga Lancers’ Home Stretch Of HIL
Arthur Van Doren: When the Kalinga Lancers take to the field at Kalinga Hockey Stadium here on Saturday, they will not only aim to maintain their top position in the standings but also enter an environment that their captain, Arthur Van Doren, considers one of the most unique in world hockey.
The last stage of the Men’s Hockey India League 2025–26 kicks off in Odisha's capital, a city that has earned a quiet reputation as the spiritual birthplace of Indian hockey. For Van Doren, this return is not only strategic but also deeply personal.
“Obviously, we know that the final phase will be here in Bhubaneswar, in Kalinga’s home city. Bhubaneswar and Odisha in general is a hockey-loving environment. The people that come and watch here are hockey-loving people, and we are very much looking forward to playing here, especially since we are doing well,” the Belgian defender said.
