Authorities once broke Dhyan Chand's hockey to check for magnet

Hockey authorities in the Netherlands once broke Indian hockey legend Dhyan Chand's hockey stick to check if there was a magnet inside. Dhyan Chand, who was born on August 29, 1905, scored more than 400 goals during his international career. Notably, after watching Dhyan Chand play in the 1936 Olympics final, Adolf Hitler wanted to buy his hockey stick.
