After nearly 13 years in the role, Elena Norman, the CEO of Hockey India, announced her resignation on February 27. Norman's decision to step down marks the end of a significant chapter in her tenure with the organization.
Norman's resignation follows closely on the heels of the unexpected departure of Janneke Schopman, the coach of the women's team. Schopman's exit, attributed to perceived unequal treatment from stakeholders within HI, has stirred discussions within the hockey community.
HI President Dilip Tirkey has accepted Norman's resignation, expressing gratitude for her significant contributions to the sport in the country.
Tirkey recognized Norman's dedication and thanked her for her invaluable service to hockey in India.
