The fifth edition of the Hockey India League (HIL) will kick off on Jan 21 when the 2015 Champions Ranchi Rays take on Dabang Mumbai at the latter's home patch. The final of the league will be contested on Feb 26 in Chandigarh - home of the defending Champions Punjab Warriors.

Last season's runner-ups Kalinga Lancers will hope to go one step further when they start their campaign against the 2014 winners Delhi Waveriders in Bhubaneswar. The Uttar Pradesh Wizards will play Dabang Mumbai in their first game of the 2017 edition in Mumbai on Jan 24. Mumbai will then host the Champions Punjab Warriors on Jan 27 for the latter's first match of the tournament.

Ranchi Rays made the first move in the league when they acquired Gurbaj Singh for $99,000. Ranchi continued the spree with the signing of German forward Christopher Ruhr for an impressive $75,000. Tom Craig (Kalinga Lancers), Robert van der Horst (Punjab Warriors) and Seve Van Ass (Uttar Pradesh Wizards) were among the top signings in the league.

"We hope to raise the bar again this season, by increasing reach to more fans via innovative mediums as well as better revenues for players and sponsors. At the heart of its concept, the HIL benefits our Indian players development immensely by allowing them to play alongside some the best players in the world hence learning new techniques that go a long way during the hockey season," HIL chairman Narinder Dhruv Batra had said earlier.
