He brings with him 700,000 followers on social media and the Chill are also hoping his off-field following translates to Canberra recognition.
"The Canberra Chill acquiring someone of Rupinder's resume and calibre opens not only a door for new audiences, but a potential pathway for other high quality international names to play in the Hockey One league in the futurem," said Hockey ACT boss Rob Sheekey.
"Our fans can certainly dream about us doing something special this season."
Singh is the latest addition to the Chill rosters. The women's team has already secured three Irish internationals, signing Ireland captain Katie Mullan, Roisin Upton and Sarah Hawkshaw for the 2023 season.
The women's side has also added former Hockeyroos stars Edwina Bone and Anna Flanagan, with the competition to start in October.
