Rajgir, Sept. 1 -- Women's Hockey India League (HIL) winners Odisha Warriors and men's franchise team Gonasika have pulled out of the revamped HIL's second edition to be held next January, Hockey India (HI) president Dilip Tirkey said on Sunday. Navoyam Sports-owned Odisha Warriors won the women's HIL beating Soorma Hockey Club 2-1 in the final on January 26. Team Gonasika, owned by Odia mining tycoon Tarini Prasad Mohanty, had finished seventh out of eight teams in the men's league. "Most of the men's teams will remain the same. Gonasika has pulled out citing personal problems. A replacement team is ready to participate. We will inform all after finalising the details. The men's HIL will continue to have eight teams," the former India skipper said here. "In women's HIL, Odisha Warriors have pulled out and a replacement team is ready. We, for sure, will have four teams in the league but it could increase to six." There was a delay in paying salaries to many players from Odisha Warriors. Tirkey said their salaries have been paid by HI. Interestingly, HI paid the salaries from the winning prize money. Warriors were due Rs.1 crore for winning the HIL, but since they did not pay players their salary, HI did so from the prize purse, only handing the remaining amount to the franchise owners....
