Life and career
[edit]Panchia was born on 18 October 1993 in Auckland to Peter Panchia and Ramila. Both his parents played field hockey at local level. Panchia's siblings are also field hockey players; his elder brother Arun Panchia has captained the national side, while younger brother Daniel Panchia has represented the national junior team. He has a younger sister, Anjali, who has also taken up the sport.[1][2] The Panchia family have Gujarati ancestry, with Panchia's great-grandfather emigrating from India to New Zealand in the 1920s.[3]
Panchia was part of the New Zealand U21 squad that took part in the 2013 Men's Hockey Junior World Cup in New Delhi. He made his senior team debut the same year and was the youngest member of the national squad at the 2014 Men's Hockey World Cup in The Hague.[4] Panchia was part of two Oceania Cup silver medal-winning teams: 2013 in Stratford and 2017 in Sydney.
