Ah, the old departmental system! It gave steady jobs at companies like PIA or banks, so players could train without money worries. When that collapsed, funding dried up—players now struggle for basics, kits, even travel.
For me in Karachi? My cousin was a rising star, but now he drives a rickshaw after his department team folded—his hockey stick gathers dust. So I see it not as just a 'system' ending, but dreams ending. Majja is gone from the ground now.
