Southpointe Academy student Cairo Malhi, 11, is going on a family trip to India over the Christmas holiday break and he plans on teaching local kids about hockey while he’s there.
He wrote about the upcoming trip in the school’s newsletter and asked for hockey stick donations.
“I want to show the kids in our village what we do here at home. We play hockey, year round,” Malhi, who’s in Grade 6 at the Tsawwassen school, wrote.
His family is visiting a village, Malhiawala, where Malhi’s grandmother is from.
“My grandmother would like to take my brother Milan and I to India and show us our village before she gets too old to show us around,” he wrote in the newsletter.
Malhi, a goalie, and his older brother both play hockey.
“It’s kind of like all I’ve ever known. It’s always hockey, hockey,” he said.
