Royal Enfield Ice Hockey League Season 3: Anwar Hussain Records Fastest Goal

(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) Leh – Anwar Hussain from Purig Warriors set a new record for the fastest goal in the Royal Enfield Ice Hockey League Season 3 at Nawang Dorjay Stobdan (NDS) Stadium, Leh.

Shakar Chiktan Royals set the tone for the day with a commanding 6-3 victory over United Nubra. Altaf Hussain and Ashiq Hussain scored twice each for the Royals, netting the opening and closing goals, while Tayief Ali and Villayat Ali added neat tap-ins as the Royals surged to a six-goal haul. United Nubra mounted a late push in the third period through Padma Mingyur's wrist-flick and the concluding tap-in, along with Rigzin Norboo's first strike, but the comeback arrived too late to alter the result.

Zanskar Chadar Tamers followed up with a dominant 7-2 victory against Maryul Spawo. Jigmath led the charge with four goals, including the opener and the final goal of the game. Rinchen Wangyal scored twice – first with a drag shot and then with a slapshot, finding the net through Spawo's defence. Tsering Sangay also found the net for the Tamers with his wrist shot. Spawo briefly levelled in the second period through Stanzin Stanba, and Asif Ali added a tap-in, but the Tamers quickly reasserted control.

Purig Warriors beat Kharu Falcons 4-2, led by Anwar Hussain, who scored the league's fastest goal and later added a late second to seal the result. Sajjad Jr and Captain Sajjad Hussain also found the net for Purig. Kharu replied through Jigmet Choster's early and late tap-ins but could not close the gap.
