    Men's HIL: ‘We Defended With Discipline, Took Our Moments,’ Say Van Doren And Hendrickx After Kalinga Lancers Storm Into Final

    Hockey India League: Kalinga Lancers secured their place in the final of the Men’s Hockey India League 2025–26 by defeating Ranchi Royals 2-1 in Qualifier 1 at the Kalinga Hockey Stadium on Friday, and captain Arthur Van Doren attributed the team’s success to their discipline and shared work ethic.

    The Kalinga Lancers’ advance to the final has been supported by strong defensive play. Throughout the season, the team, which had previously topped the league stage with 16 points, conceded only eight goals, the fewest in the league.

    “We knew this would be a difficult game against a side with a lot of attacking quality and individual skill. Our focus was on staying compact, denying space in dangerous areas and making sure we were connected defensively throughout the match,” Van Doren said.
