Head Coach Jay Stacy: Kalinga Lancers won the Men’s Hockey India League 2025-26 title with a 3-2 win over Ranchi Royals in the final at Kalinga Hockey Stadium on Monday, finishing their season with a run marked by consistency, discipline, and team clarity, and head coach Jay Stacy said that the championship reflected ‘everything the group committed to over the season.
The Lancers' championship victory was the result of a commanding season, in which they led the league standings and secured wins in both Qualifier 1 and the Final, consistently performing under pressure at each critical moment.
A well-organized defensive strategy underpinned the team’s championship success. Kalinga Lancers allowed only 11 goals throughout the tournament, marking the best defensive performance in the league. Their penalty corner execution was particularly effective, as they ended the season with the highest conversion rate at 31.8 percent.
