Skarma Rinchen’s Journey From Ladakh Village To Ice Hockey
Royal Enfield Ice Hockey League: Skarma Rinchen’s ice hockey journey is truly inspiring, showcasing the transformative power of determination and hard work. Originating from Gya Meru, a semi-nomadic village in Ladakh, adds a unique dimension to the 20-year-old’s story, considering Ladakh's challenging terrain and harsh winters.
In 2017, during an ice hockey training workshop in her village, Skarma saw an ice-skating boot for the first time but struggled to even stand on the blades. The following year, with some improvement, she developed a growing interest despite limited practice opportunities.
Attending a 15-day workshop in Leh organized by the Women’s Association changed her story. There, Skarma Rinchen met girls from the Indian women’s national ice hockey team and showed up to their practicesessions regularly and eventually earned a chance to train alongside them. In 2023, Skarma, a left forward, is herself a national team player.
