About a dozen members of his team are coming to Brampton Oct. 9 to play the ECHL’s Brampton Beast.
The rest of the team will be made up of local players of Indian descent.
“I’m incredibly excited to combine Indo-Canadian hockey players from the GTA with the players coming over from India,” Sherlip said.
There are many Canadian kids whose families came from India who’ve excelled at hockey and not even just in recent years. I remember 35 years ago I played in Kanata with Sanj Kalra, who was one of the best hockey players around. As I remember, he came to Canada with his parents as a baby and took up hockey at four and turned out to be a dandy. He actually went to Ohio on a tennis scholarship, but I always thought he was certainly good enough to play in the OHL. The guy was awesome.
