While the win is commendable, I hope the focus remains on long-term player development and not just winning trophies. Academies must ensure these girls get good education alongside sports training. That's the real victory.

The article mentions it's the country's biggest prize money tournament. That's a crucial step forward! Financial incentives at the junior level can be a game-changer, encouraging more families to support their daughters in sports.

Beating BSF Jalandhar in the semis and then GNDU in the final? That's no small feat. These are strong teams. The precision on penalty corners mentioned shows excellent coaching. Punjab continues to be the heartbeat of Indian hockey.
