Stanzin Phuntsog creates history with record-breaking goal in Ice Hockey League Season 3

Leh: Stanzin Phuntsog etched his name into the record books by scoring the fastest goal in Royal Enfield Ice Hockey League Season 3. The Kangs Sing forward bettered the previous record of 15 seconds, which had stood since the league’s second season.

Kangs Sing capped off Day 3 in emphatic fashion, with Phuntsog completing a hat-trick by netting the final goal in a dominant 6–0 victory over Maryul Spawo. The win extended their unbeaten run, alongside fellow frontrunners Humas Warriors. Meanwhile, debutants Kharu Falcons and Kharu Eagles celebrated their first victories of the season.

Debutants Kharu Falcons began the day with a 7–1 win over Changla Blasters, led by the Jigmet trio. Jigmet Stanzin opened the scoring and completed a hat-trick, while Jigmet Lapel struck late in the second period. In the third, Jigmat Choster added two with a series of runs and wrist shots, and Karma Tsewang finished from close range to take the Falcons to seven. Changla’s lone goal came through Konchok Namdol’s wrist-flick, but the Blasters were unable to close the gap.

Kharu Eagles edged Humas Queens 3–2 with a late winner. Eagles captain Yagchan Palmo put her side ahead with a slapshot before the Queens responded through captain Nuzhat Fatima’s backhand and Maqsuma Akhter’s wrist-flick to lead after two periods. Palmo levelled in the third with her second, and Kunzes Angmo sealed it in the final minute with a slapshot from the neutral zone that slipped between the goalkeeper and the left post.

Humas Warriors extended their winning run with a hard-fought 2–1 victory over Changathang Shans. Stanzin Jambal handed the Shans an early lead, which they defended for most of the game. The Warriors found their equaliser in the third period through Mohd Issa in the fifth minute, before Waseem Bilal struck the decisive goal within the next minute to complete the turnaround and secure another important win.

Kangs Sing closed the day with a 6–0 win over Maryul Spawo to extend their winning streak. Stanzin Phuntsog scored a hat-trick, including his league-record fastest goal, while Tsewang Norboo added two. Galak Wangchen opened the scoring with a wrist shot earlier in the game.
