MUMBAI: The second season of World Series Hockey (WSH) organised by Nimbus Sport and IHF will have seven teams as the two teams from Punjab have decided to merge. 

The Chandigarh Comets and Sher-e-Punjab have united into one Punjab team.

The second edition starts in December 2012. The aim of one team from Punjab is so that loyalties in that big hockey market are not divided. There will now be 45 matches as opposed to 59 matches in the first season.
