The inaugural India Hockey 360 Festival is set to take place in Chandigarh from July 31 to August 2, with Canadian hockey figures Randip Janda and Harry Mahesh leading the event. The festival is being presented as a way to bring Canadian hockey knowledge and NHL-linked experience to India.
Janda is known as an NHL broadcaster and as the Punjabi host of Hockey Night in Canada, while Mahesh serves as an assistant coach with the Abbotsford Canucks. Their involvement gives the new festival a strong connection to the North American professional hockey world.
The announcement highlights a growing link between Canadian hockey culture and Indian audiences, especially through personalities who understand both the game and the communities following it. With Chandigarh hosting the first edition, the event is positioned as a notable step in expanding hockey conversations and exposure in India.
Although only limited details have been released so far, the India Hockey 360 Festival stands out for the experience attached to its two headline names. Their presence is expected to bring attention to the event and underline the broader exchange of hockey ideas between Canada and India.
