Fix Malaysian hockey, not just the coach (Part 1) | Timesport On The Beat

About this episode

The episode discusses the deeper issues in Malaysian hockey beyond just coaching changes.

Is replacing the national men's hockey coach really fixing anything or just masking long-standing issues? In this episode, we break down Sarjit Singh’s exit and Brendon Carolan’s arrival, as former international Maninderjit Singh questions a system that has cycled through dozens of coaches with little to show for it. From grassroots development failures to a shrinking pool of quality coaches and officials, we examine why Malaysian hockey struggles persist and whether the sport is ready to confront some hard truths.
