It is my dream to learn hockey

I am studying in Class 8. A few months ago I fell in love with the sport of hockey and ever since then it is my dream to learn hockey and, if possible, pursue it as my career. However, in Goa hockey is probably the least-known game and therefore I can’t learn the sport. There don’t seem to be any classes anywhere in Goa for hockey. I am ready to do anything to learn this sport. Please guide me as to what to do to learn this sport with the aim of possibly pursuing it as a career.
