In preparation for the league, Royal Enfield conducted extensive training and scouting camps across Ladakh, including Drass, Zanskar, Nubra, Kargil, Shakar Chiktan, Leh, and Changthang. The players were trained by coaches who underwent specialised training in Delhi in December 2024 under the mentorship of Darryl Easson, an IIHF-certified coach-instructor who has previously coached for the national teams in the UK and Hungary.<\/p>\n

Royal Enfield\u2019s ongoing commitment to the development of Ice hockey in Ladakh includes several interventions, ranging from grassroots learn-to-play programmes and train-the-trainer initiatives to essential equipment support. Two skate-sharpening machines have been provided to the Ice Hockey Association of Ladakh, addressing a critical need for players who previously faced logistical challenges in accessing such facilities, mainly available only in Leh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
