Harnarayan Singh helped hockey take a step forward Wednesday night.

He became the first Sikh to work an English hockey broadcast when he served as the rinkside reporter for Sportsnet's telecast of the game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Calgary Flames.

Singh's work on the Punjabi edition of "Hockey Night in Canada" is well-documented. His viral call of Nick Bonino's game-winner during the Stanley Cup Final earned him an invitation to meet the Pittsburgh Penguins on the day of their championship parade in June.
