GULMARG - THE 5TH NATIONAL WINTER GAMES

One of the highlights of the National Winter Games at Gulmarg was the ice hockey tournament. The rink itself was unusual in that the corners really were corners, there was almost no transition at all in the boards. For a somewhat witty, sarcastic, and definitely denigrating account of this event please read "Hockey Night in Kashmir" as reported by some Canuckleheads that were evidently unimpressed with this version of their national pastime.
