#180 - TURN Sports - Discussing ball hockey, the NHL and broadening perspectives with APNA Hockey.

"When you build a team, you want people with different perspectives. I'm focused on one thing, but I want Tan to be focused on other aspects."

- Lali Toor

In this episode of TURN Sports, Navin sits down Lali Toor, Tan Virring and Tanroop Mahal from APNA Hockey to discuss ball hockey, the NHL and the importance of varied perspectives in the sports community.

They begin by asking Tan Virring about her experience joining APNA Hockey (1:32) and then move into her personal journey with hockey (2:21). After that Virring talks a bit about her experience with ball hockey and the volunteer work she's been doing around it (5:14). This leads into a conversation about the various ball hockey leagues, starting at Masters (in Virring's case) and going all the way to Worlds (6:06). Finally leading into a conversation about the many layers of the sport (7:28) as well as the cost of getting into it and how easy it is to get into it locally (8:43).

Virring is then asked what she's most excited for and what she seeks to change (9:43). Toor then jumps in to describe the importance of the different perspective Virring brings to the table (10:57) and discusses the future of APNA Hockey a little bit (12:52).

The conversation then turns to the Oilers (14:20). After the Oilers talk, they talk a bit more about APNA Hockey (22:35), take a short detour into talking about Olympic ball hockey (23:07), and return to talk about future events APNA Hockey is part (25:40). They end off the show by talking about what's missing on the women's side for ball hockey (27:48).
