Summary:
"From the distinct and vibrant voice behind
Hockey
Night in Canada Punjabi comes the story of pursuing a dream and defying the odds, reminding us all of
hockey
's power to unite. BoninoBoninoBonino! Ask a
hockey
fan if they have heard the wonderfully electric call of Nick Bonino'
s
overtime-winning goal from the 2016 Stanley Cup Final and they will almost surely answer with a resounding yes! That'
s
because video clips of the
Hockey
Night in Canada Punjabi broadcast immediately went viral, amplifying the profile of Harnarayan Singh, the voice behind the call. Growing up in
small-town
Alberta
, Harnarayan was like many other kids who dreamed about a life within the sanctum of the
game
they idolized. There was only
one
small difference--he didn't look like any of the other kids. After all, his dad was the only hero he had growing up who wore a turban to work, and as a teen, he watched the Sikh community be rolled up in the anti-immigrant rhetoric that swept the U.
S
. and Canada in the wake of September 11. Undeterred, Harnarayan worked his way from calling imaginary
hockey
games with his plastic toy microphone, to funding secret flights from Calgary to Toronto every weekend in the early days of
Hockey
Night in Canada Punjabi, to making history as the first Sikh to broadcast an NHL
game
in English. Full of heart, humour, and bursting with personality (and maybe a few family prayers for Wayne Gretzky), Harnarayan tells his incredible and inspiring life story about how he overcame the social and cultural hurdles that forced him to break through the longstanding barriers and biases of the sport he loves. But more than that, Harnarayan blends his unabashed love of
hockey
with a refreshing and necessary positive message about what it means to be a Canadian in the world, making him
one
of the most influential ambassadors of the
game
today."
