Breakaway Page #7

Synopsis: A hockey enthusiast since 12 years of age, Toronto-based Rajvinder Singh, even went to the extent of trimming his hair, discarding his Pagri/turban, did not complete his education, incurred the wrath of his father, Darvesh, who wanted him to be involved in the family business as well as confirm and respect Sikh religion principles and values. Hoping to play professional hockey, Rajvinder, along with other fellow Sikh players, instead finds himself treated as the object of ridicule, referred to as a 'joker', by mainstream Caucasian players. Even his friends tease him and ask him to take up 'Guli Danda' and Kabaddi', while his father makes him work for Uncle Sammy as a truck driver. He is attracted to stunning law student Melissa Winters while her brother, Dan, offers to coach Rajvinder and his team. Unable to get themselves included in any team, they form their own, and call it 'Speedy Singhs'. They then set about to make a name for themselves with a coach who is unable to pronounce the

Go Speedy Singhs.

"Punjabis are bravehearts."

Rock it! Go for it.

Speedy Singhs are wearing

the warrior Sikh helmets.

They look like

warriors ready for battle.

You saw those jokers?

"Punjabis are bravehearts."

Absolutely, Absolutely.

Today we'll find out if

Rajveer lives up to the hype.

'O Canada, our

home and native land.'

'True patriot love in

all thy sons command.'

'With glowing hearts

we see thee rise.'

'The True North strong and free! '

'From far and wide, O Canada,

we stand on guard forthee.'

'God keep our land

glorious and free! '

Alright. Boys, it's time.

Team work.

One, two, three.

Singhs!

Go, Tanveer.

That's a nice bucket on your head.

'Rajveer Singh has been

pushed away from the puck.'

'Hammer heads have put

in the Singhs zone.'

Come. Have a seat.

'They're taking a shot

from the corner point.'

'Lnderjit saves it.' 'But it

has rebounded and they score.'

This is just the beginning.

One minute into the game,

the Hammerheads...

...are leading by 1-0.

'There are more than 3 minutes

remaining in the first round.'

'And Hammerheads are

still leading by 1-0.'

Speedy Singhs have put

into the Hammerheads zone.

They've lost the Puck at the corner.

And Rajveer has been hit.

Oh my God!

What a hit!

Hey! Where is the goal?

Referee, are you blind?

He is blind.

O poor kid. Are you hurt?

Get lost.

I'll smack the referee. Jerk.

'This is bad.'

'We need assistance to

take him back to the bench.'

'He is badly hurt.' 'I hope

they don't sit him on the bench.'

'They need his talent badly

against the mighty Hammerheads.'

We're having lots of

troubles there.

Leku, go and destroy them.

Got it?

How are you now?

Absolutely fine.

If I see anything wrong...

...I will come to get you.

Only if you can catch me.

They are still leading by a goal.

The pace is picking up.

There are just three

minutes remaining.

A hard hit on the boundary.

Speedy Singhs have

changed their line.

Rajveer Singh has

picked it up from the line.

Put it in the Hammerhead zone.

And has taken out the defender.

And he can score.

But he has passed it to Jassi Singh.

And a goal!

Goal. Outstanding.

Well done.

What a goal.

Good. Very good.

We are starting the third period.

Everyone is together.

Friends, the game has

become more interesting.

Singhs have put the puck

into the Hammerheads zone.

And they have lost it.

Churchnick has put back

it to the center line.

Rajveer has cut the pass.

And has put the puck overthe

blue line of the Hammerheads.

He has the puck now.

He is dodging and

dunking the opposition.

And he has scored.

A beautiful goal by Rajveer.

Speedy Singhs are leading by 2-1

forthe first time in the game.

The entire stadium has erupted.

Hammerhead has control over it now.

There are is just one

minute remaining in the game.

And the Hammerheads

goal keeper is going out.

And a new attacker is replacing him.

Careful.

Picking it up from the corner.

Passing the puck.

Passing it again.

This is a difficult shot.

Oh! What a save by Jassi Singh!

Rajveer has it now.

He is off with it. He has

passed it to Deva Singh.

He takes aim at the unguarded goal.

Amazing. This goal

could seal Singhs victory.

Yes. Yes.

Oh. But he has saved it.

To the goal. To the goal.

Libiyu has the puck now.

He passes it to Martin.

The Singhs are already celebrating.

They must go back.

But they aren't able to.

Martin is unmarked.

And he has scored.

Oh. And time up.

And both the teams are even now.

We are into overtime now.

This is really disappointing.

Victory was within Singhs grasp.

Now the team that

scores first in extra time...

...will be the winner

of the Hyundai Cup.

Okay. Come on.

No worries.

Listen to me.

All I've known is that

winning is everything.

And we can do this

right here right now.

But you guys. You guys can

do something more than this.

About which I had never

thought before meeting you guys.

Tonight, you can show

the entire country...

...that you belong here.

Yes. I know you look different.

But if you go there and

do what I know you can do.

It will be clear

that you are champions.

Not them.

Three for Singhs.

One, two, three.

Singhs, Singhs, Singhs.

Singhs, Singhs, Singhs.

Singhs, Singhs, Singhs...

The extra time will start now.

Both the teams are super charged.

The team that scores

first will the champion...

...of this year's Hyundia Cup.

Singhs, Singhs, Singhs.

Singhs, Singhs, Singhs.

Singhs, Singhs, Singhs...

Your dreams of winning

will be destroyed for good.

This is the day of reckoning.

And the game begins again.

Both teams have swapped sides.

Hammerheads entering the

Singhs zone with the puck.

He has picked up the

puck from the corner.

Rajveer Singh's

fabulous intervention.

And the puck is out again.

He has passed it to Libiyu.

Morton gets the pass again.

Morton passes it to Basal.

Basal has the puck.

And he has saved it again. Amazing.

He has passed it to Rajveer Singh.

Rajveer slips it

through Morton and Churchnick

Amazing.

Fantastic dribbling there.

What is happening?

Rajveer Singh has broken away.

Now it is between the

goalkeeper and Rajveer Singh.

'Have you ever seen me play? '

'And I don't want to see either.'

'You deserve this.'

'And remember. I

hate people who ditch.'

'Son, you'll make me proud one day.'

He is taking the puck

to the left. Now right.

Overthe

goalkeeper's head. And goal!

Rajveer Singh has won

it for Speedy Singhs.

So how does it feel?

To be honest, it feels great.

Okay. I quit hockey for your love.

I will never ask you to

leave something you love.

And you know I don't
