Kalinga Lancers (Odia: କଳିଙ୍ଗ ଲ୍ୟାନ୍ସର୍ସ) is a professional field hockey franchise team based in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.[1] Owned by Vedanta Limited since 2024, the franchise competes in the Hockey India League.[2]

History

In their inaugural season in 2014, the Kalinga Lancers finished at the sixth spot at the end of league stage, and did not qualify for the semi-finals.[3] Lancers also finished the 2015 edition in a similar fashion, finishing fifth at the end of the league stage.[4]

In the 2016 Hockey India League, the Kalinga Lancers finished fourth at the end of league stage and advanced into the semi-finals for the first time, garnering 25 points from 10 games. In the semi-finals, the Lancers defeated Ranchi Rays 2–2 (4–2) to reach the Final. In the final, the Lancers faced Punjab Warriors which they lost 1–6, finishing the league as the runners-up.[5]

In the 2017 Hockey India League, the Kalinga Lancers finished second at the end of league stage and advanced into the semi-finals garnering 28 points from 10 games. In the semi-finals, the Lancers defeated Uttar Pradesh Wizards 4–4 (4–3) to reach the Final. On 26 February 2017, Kalinga Lancers defeated Dabang Mumbai 4–1 in the final to win their first ever silverware.[6]

Ownership

Since 2013, the Kalinga Lancers were co-owned by Mahanadi Coalfields and Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation.[7] However, in 2024, prior to the 2024–25 Hockey India League season, the Vedanta Group acquired full ownership of the team.[2]
