Series of events to mark family hockey silver jubilee
Madikeri: To make the silver jubilee Muddanda Cup Hockey Tournament truly memorable, a series of special programmes have been planned, announced Muddanda Rashin Subbaiah, President of the Muddanda Hockey Festival.
Speaking at the logo unveiling ceremony, it was revealed that a sports torch, inspired by the tradition of the Olympic torch, will be carried in a marathon. The journey will begin from the birthplace of the hockey festival, initiated by Pandanda Kuttappa, and will visit the homes of the Kodava families who have hosted the festival over the years.
The torch will ultimately reach the Madikeri Sports Ground on the day of the festival’s commencement. The hockey festival, scheduled from March 28 to April 27, will feature a range of events to enhance its appeal.
Highlights include a shooting competition, a women’s hockey tournament and a cyclothon from Gonikoppa to Madikeri, organised in collaboration with the Tour of Nilgiris organisation.
