The Hour - Singhs

For a lot of Canadians hockey is in our blood, it's part of who we are. For generations every Saturday night we watch 'Hockey Night In Canada'. But not all Canadians speak English or French. So last year, during the Stanley Cup Finals 'Hockey Night in Canada' decided to broadcast games in Punjabi. Why Punjabi? Because Punjabi is the 4th most spoken language in Canada. East Indians have lived here for more than a century. They helped settle and build Vancouver, they fought for Canada in both World Wars and they love sports. Of course, cricket is huge in India, but so is field hockey and a game called Kabaddi. nSo, it makes sense that Canadians of East Indian heritage would be into hockey. This season, 'Hockey Night In Canada' is producing a Punjabi broadcast every Saturday night. The commentators were hand picked from the Punjab community, both have experience in the media and both are huge hockey fans. Parminder Singh does the play by play. And Harnarayan Singh the colour commentary.

@IndiaandCanada why do racist people exist, the world is better with open minded people. I'm thankful to live in such a diverse and multicultural society, learning about different ppl's culture especially their food.

I hate it when these white ppl going around saying racist remarks and lashing out at foreigner's saying we're playing the race card, well we don't have to if they're not being such racists in the first place.

Its not racism to try and preserve what we are losing. The Indians kicked the whites out of India, remember Ghandi? Indians don't want to live in their homeland because its a garbage country, so they come to Canada and exploit it. A great deal of them illegal immigrants. Many Canadian soldiers have fought and died in two world wars for their countrymen. Not Indians
