iron router - Simple meteor template helper not rendering in blaze -

i can't access data template helper template. it's strange because have done 100x. here simple example. able on other route/template combinations have setup reason not on one.

my console empty , console.log('helper ran') never runs far can tell

in departmentbh1.html

<template name="departmentbh1">   <h1>wtf</h1>   <h1>{{hospital}}</h1> </template> 

in departmentbh1.js

template.departmentbh1.helpers = ({   hospital: function() {     console.log('helper ran');     return 'test';   } }); 

in router.js

router.route('/bh/departmentbh1', {   name: 'departmentbh1' }); 

which renders without proper text helper

try this:

template.departmentbh1.helpers({   hospital: function() {     console.log('helper ran');     return 'test';   } }); 

changed helpers = ({ helpers({
