Episode Details

In today's Locked On Canucks episode, we're joined by Randip Janda to discuss one of the most exciting hockey initiatives happening anywhere in the world: the Inaugural India Hockey 360 Festival.

Randip shares his vision for helping grow the game in one of the world's largest countries, bringing together NHL personalities, grassroots development, and a new generation of hockey fans. The India Hockey 360 Festival aims to introduce more people to the sport while creating opportunities for young players and strengthening hockey's global reach.

We also dive into the Vancouver Canucks' prospect pool and ask an important question:

Is Jonathan Lekkerimäki becoming the NHL's most underrated—or most slept-on—prospect?

While much of the attention has shifted to names like Zeev Buium, Tom Willander, and Braeden Cootes, Lekkerimäki continues to quietly develop into a player who could make a major impact in Vancouver sooner than many expect. Has Canucks Nation forgotten just how dynamic his offensive upside can be?
