==History==

===2012 season===
{{main|2012 World Series Hockey}}
Sher-e-Punjab begun their campaign with a 5–2 victory over [[Chennai Cheetahs]] at home. After being undefeated for three matches they lost consecutive matches from [[Delhi Wizards]] and [[Chandigarh Comets]] 1–2 and 1–3 respectively. But winning their next five matches gave them their berth in the semi-finals despite their captain, [[Prabhjot Singh]], being out of play due to a hamstring injury.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sher-E-Punjab enter World Series Hockey semifinals| url= http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/hockey/world-series-hockey/Sher-E-Punjab-enter-World-Series-Hockey-semifinals/articleshow/12405485.cms| work= [[The Times of India]]| author= Krishna Kanta Chakraborty| date= 25 March 2012| accessdate= 12 May 2012}}</ref> They were the first team to qualify for the playoffs. They defeated [[Bhopal Badshahs]] and [[Mumbai Marines]] both home and away. The team led the points table almost throughout the league phase due to their consistent performance. However, just one win in last four matches resulted in a number two finish at the end of league phase trailing [[Chandigarh Comets]] by three points.{{fact|date=March 2018}}

Sher-e-Punjab faced [[Karnataka Lions]] (who finished number three in the league phase) in the semi-final.<ref>{{cite web|title=WSH semifinal: Karnataka to face Sher-e-Punjab on Sunday|url=http://sports.ndtv.com/othersports/hockey/item/187815-wsh-semifinal-karnataka-to-face-sher-e-punjab-on-sunday|work=[[NDTV]]|author= Press Trust of India|date= 31 March 2012| accessdate=12 May 2012}}</ref> They conceded an early goal but went on to thrash the hosts 4–1 to enter the final.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sher-e-Punjab enter final of World Series Hockey|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/hockey/world-series-hockey/Sher-e-Punjab-enter-final-of-World-Series-Hockey/articleshow/12496105.cms| work=[[The Times of India]]|date= 1 April 2012| accessdate= 12 May 2012}}</ref> They faced and defeated [[Pune Strykers]] in the final 5–2 and thus became the first ever champions of WSH.<ref>{{cite web| title= Sher-E-Punjab crowned WSH champions| url= http://www.espnstar.com/home/news/detail/item780581/| work= [[ESPN]]| date= 3 April 2012| accessdate= 12 May 2012| url-status= dead| archiveurl= https://archive.today/20120729094014/http://www.espnstar.com/home/news/detail/item780581/| archivedate= 29 July 2012| df= dmy-all}}</ref> [[Deepak Thakur]] scored the most goals for the team (12 goals).
