I think its high time players demand the respect and perks which is due. These officials enjoy all the facilities because of the sportsmen and don't even give second thoughts about their well-beings.
If the management is incapable of providing enough money for the team, they should be asked to not only resign but leave the management for some other able hands.
And if Mr Matoo thinks its sad that players are choosing money over national color, then I think he should be ashamed to be HI's president and take responsibility for the sorry state of affairs.
The players deserve better and should be free to leave the oblivious association and thankless country and look for greener pastures abroad. I am sure many foreign countries will welcome them whole-heartedly not only to join their teams but even to settle there for a better future.

Thats absolutely correct as stated By Ninja Kirgi. This is complete humiliation of players playing for the national pride. They are shedding their sweat and blood to give out their best. I fthis time the players bow down then I am sorry this salvage will again and again happen. HUM NAHI SUDHRANGEY is the exact motive of hockey India. These officials are just like good for nothing apart frm passing shrewd remarks of dissolving the whole team and play a new team bull shitt. They are not proactive and want to bring in shame effortlessly for India 08 times OLYMPICS GOLD MEDALISTS-and now not even qualifies for champions trophy I think hackey should be replaced as the national game of India. simply let these baseless committee members spoil the sports and govern the hockey camp of which they dont even know the A..B...C..D...

All the officials in Hockey India are corrupt. Sahara India , the sponosrs" have given handsome amount to Hockey Inda. Why cant they share it with Players. Why cant Hockey India give some amount now and balance after some time. This will build confidence in players. Mere assurance will not work. Even if BCCI decides to extend Fiancial help , Hockey India official will waste it on themsleves.

decrease the no. of officials in federation to bare minimum and let the control rest among old players or olympian who understands the problems of players. Assess the asset of officials and whosoever is having disproportionate asset should be arrested and his property be annexed and money can be generated. moreover all the past office bearers record should be checked and if thery also have disproportionate asset catch them also. For present let PM intervene and decide the matter. if the matter cannot be solved close the hockey schools and let it go.
