Ice hockey in Ladakh in times of an unwanted thaw
Hindustan TimesNew Delhi: In the chilly winter of Ladakh, a game of ice hockey can feel like a warm hug. The second season of the Royal Enfield Ice Hockey League, which begins in Ladakh on Thursday, furthers the region’s favourite sport. Ice hockey or ice skating were the only sports we played during winters,” says Diskit Angmo, who has been part of the Indian women’s ice hockey team since its inception in 2016. Climate crisis While winter sports like ice hockey grow in popularity or receive a boost, they are threatened by global warming – a crisis that is likely to affect them the most, and at a time when it’s most suitable to grow. They are not dependent on income or success in the sport, but with the climate crisis worsening, it seems that realising the dream of making ice hockey a career looks far-fetched.
