The Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame (GVSHOF) and the University of Victoria Department of Athletics and Recreation are pleased to announce University of Victoria Vikes men's field hockey player, Harbir Sidhu, as the sixth winner of the Bate Family Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame Award.

Sidhu is a Mount Douglas Secondary graduate and is currently a first year in the commerce program. The prestige and versatility offered by the Gustavson School of Business and the ability to foster his field hockey skills with the Vikes made UVic an easy choice for the Victoria native. Sidhu is bilingual, also speaking Punjabi, and as such is heavily involved with the Punjab community helping create leaders in the youth and instilling a sense of pride in children towards their culture and heritage through volunteer work and sport.
