In a surprising turn of events, Elena Norman, the longstanding CEO of Hockey India, tendered her resignation after a tenure spanning 13 years. Hockey India recently made the announcement, expressing gratitude for Norman’s contributions to the team.
Confirming her resignation, Hockey India president Dilip Tirkey acknowledged Norman’s role in elevating Indian hockey to new heights. “I would like to express my gratitude for Elena’s time and dedication. Not only as the President of Hockey India but also as a former player and avid hockey enthusiast, I want to formally acknowledge and extend my sincere gratitude for her remarkable contributions over the last 12-13 years,” Tirkey stated.
