We're so pumped to have you, man. Thank you for making time. The new book is called

One game at a time, my journey from small town, Alberta to hockey's biggest stage,

Hunter Ryan Singh, you know, a guy that we've wanted to talk to forever, so glad that we

That we got the chance to do this and to to talk about this book, which has been out for I believe a month now

Yeah, it was late September is when it came out so at the beginning of the fall it was supposed to be before

The regular season began, but of course I've you know the whole world turned upside down

So here we are in the offseason and the in the fall

How small town a small town because Canadians like to compete with each other like

To see who could come from the most obscure place. So what's the small town and how big is it?

Yeah, so at the time when I was growing up it was 10,000 people

But when my parents came there in the 1960s

And showed up in a town of just 3000 wearing you know turbans and visible minorities people

People may not have even heard of a turban let alone seeing one

I when my parents showed up in the 60s and you know, we just went through

Everyone kind of celebrated Halloween and I remember my parents telling me their first experience with Halloween

And they're teachers at the high school and came home and they had heard that something was gonna happen that night

And they had to give something out and you know, they're trying to figure out what they should make my moms in the kitchen and trying to figure out

What she should make quickly to hand out to kids and then of course as they were trying to figure that out

Their house got egged and so I mean, it's just like you know, there's it's fascinating

There's a lot in the book in terms of my family's journey here and then how hockey kind of came together with it all and but as far as that small town of Brooks, Alberta

It was 3000 initially 10,000 people when I was growing up there and we were the only

Practicing sick family. So we really stood out. It's funny, you know
