Black Press Media鈥檚 Penticton Western 亚洲天堂 caught up with federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh at the Vees game on Wednesday night to ask him a bit about hockey.

Born in Toronto, the representative of Burnaby is split between having the Canucks and Maple Leafs as favourite teams. They鈥檙e his hopes for the Stanley Cup this year too.

鈥淚t鈥檚 got to be either the Maple Leafs or the Canucks, that鈥檚 it,鈥� said Singh. 鈥淎ll the way, let鈥檚 do this.鈥�

As for his favourite player? It鈥檚 Halifax-born Sidney Crosby.

鈥淚 like the resilience of Sidney Crosby,鈥� said Singh. 鈥淎 Canadian guy who鈥檚 playing at an incredible level, captain of the Penguins. Someone who鈥檚 kinda recovered through a lot of injuries, and kept on pushing through.鈥�

Singh is Penticton to help kick off local MP Richard Cannings鈥� re-election campaign.
