“I’m very happy with the new committee… they love the game and I think there is a lot of future for Sabah hockey, and they could be one of the powerhouses in the country in the near future.
“But to be fair, before this, despite facing many difficulties such as financial and infrastructure, Sabah also managed to win the Sukma title.
“Looking at the present young and dynamic leadership, I’m quite confident that Sabah hockey is going to create a lot of excitement for MHC in the future,” he said.
Subahan said they are paying their attention in Sabah and Sarawak because there are plenty of talents out there that need to be groomed and roped into the national team.
