As a sports teacher, I'm thrilled to see these young girls competing at such a high level. Shahrukh Ali scoring 11 goals is phenomenal! This is exactly the kind of platform we need to encourage more girls to take up sports. Kudos to Hockey India.

While the big wins are impressive, the scorelines like 17-1 and 18-0 are a bit concerning. Hockey India should maybe look at better seeding or more divisions to ensure competitive matches. It's demoralizing for the losing teams, even at this level.

Following from Canada! It's fantastic to see the depth of hockey talent across so many Indian states. Special shoutout to Hockey Arunachal for their win – great to see representation from the North-East doing well. Keep it up!

Punjab and Jharkhand winning close matches shows good temperament. These tournaments are not just about goals, but also about handling pressure. Well done to all the young players! Jai Hind!

So many hat-tricks and braces! The goal-scoring is incredible. Munna Kumar Singh with 6 goals for Bengal is a star in the making. Hope these players get the right guidance to reach the senior national team one day.
