Hockey India League: After kidney surgery and mental break, Belgium’s Victor Wegnez wants to help Indian youth

The Hindu  

Hockey India League could just be the breath of fresh air Victor Wegnez has been looking for. I started training two weeks ago and now I’m in India to play,” Wegnez told Sportstar. “He became champion because we didn’t play well,” quipped Wegnez, who was the Belgian skipper in that tournament. “I’m just looking to play hockey in a different country with different people and not because I’m Victor Wegnez and I want a lot of money. I’m just here to help the youth of India grow, to make some good connections, some new friends and enjoy what I love to do - playing hockey,” said the Belgian.
