On Sunday November 27th, the Sangat of Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara, Honour, Triple Gold Olympian Balbir Singh.

Balbir Singh is today, Indian hockey’s most successful living legend. Well into his eighties, standing six feet tall, a fully practicing Sikh, Balbir Singh Senior still looks very impressive. His looks defy his age. In his eighties, when most of the people slowdown considerably, he leads an active life.

He leads an active retired man’s life, but touch wood, he is in good health and Balbir Singh is the product of Post World War II Olympics, when the Europeans started building up their sports and youth programs in right earnest and the Pakistanis started taking hockey very seriously. Thus India was made to struggle really hard to win an Olympic Gold Medal.

Come with your children on Sunday November 27th at 11am and meet Balbir Singh and learn what it took to go to the Olympics, not once, not twice but three times. Learn what it takes to succeed in Hockey today.
