When Keyaan Jivraj was little he knew exactly what he wanted to do: play hockey. His parents, Shein and Rahim were nervous about hockey because of stories describing the animalistic nature of the sport – not on the ice, mind you, but in the stands.
Keyaan wasn’t aware of any of that and he wanted to try hockey. Keyaan had been skiing before and decided to ask his mother about downhill racing.
“That was it,” says Shein. “I told him he could play hockey, but no downhill racing. I’m sure he planned it that way.”
I caught up with Shein Jivraj to hear about her experience in hockey with Keyaan and the remarkable cherry that topped off their first season.
