“Balbir Singh is my hero, and I hope that this Indo-Canadian hockey legend becomes a hero to many more people,” an award-winning local journalist Patrick Blennerhassett said about the subject of his new book A Forgotten Legend: Balbir Singh Sr., Triple Olympic Gold & Modi’s New India. “He represents everything we look for in our superstar athletes, something that is missing a bit in today’s modern culture–he’s modest, humble and always looking to give his teammates all the credit. Those are values our kids need to emulate when they start playing the sports they love.“
