Bio:

Randip has worked as host and analyst on Hockey Night in Canada Punjabi since 2014. In 2017, he joined Sportsnet 650 as a radio show host. His recent and most notable achievement is becoming Colour Analyst for the Vancouver Canucks, the first South Asian broadcaster to hold that position in the NHL. His accomplishments in sports broadcasting were recognized at the 2023 NHL All-Star Game, at the launch of the NHL’s United by Hockey Museum. Randip is one of the featured changemakers in the exhibit, celebrating hockey's trailblazers. Six years ago, Randip started working with the Vancouver Canucks on their inaugural South Asian Night celebrating the community. Every year, Randip works tirelessly to ensure musicians, dancers, visual artists, local businesses, community heroes, and local charities share this platform along with changemakers and pioneers in sports. Since 2022, South Asian Nights have been started by the LA Kings, Dallas Stars, New Jersey Devils, and Winnipeg Jets, inspired by work done by Randip and the Canucks. Randip is dedicated to elevating the stories of South Asians and other underserved communities, providing support through Sportsnet, HNIC Punjabi, and behind the scenes. An example being his work as Executive Producer on the documentary Press Breaker, which highlighted the career of female basketball player Harleen Sidhu and supported the careers of multiple South Asian filmmakers. Randip’s volunteering work includes emceeing fundraising events in BC over the years, including “A Night Of Miracles” in support of the BC Children’s Hospital, and the “Dice & Ice Gala” in support of the Canucks for Kids Fund. His efforts with the last two events alone have helped raise over $1.4 million. Randip’s influence extends across the country, from speaking to youth at North Delta Secondary to meeting the public at PAMA (Brampton) during the We Are Hockey Exhibit, in which he is featured. He understands he is an example of what is possible. Representation matters for many who watch and listen to him, especially South Asian youth. Seeing someone who looks like them can have a lasting impact on a young mind.
