P.K. Subban, the former Norris Trophy winner and ESPN NHL analyst, has completed his $10 million donation project to Montreal Children’s Hospital. The hospital’s foundation made the announcement on Friday. Subban announced the project in 2015 when he was playing for the Canadiens.
Subban’s Decade-Long Commitment
Subban spent 13 seasons in the NHL, playing for the Montreal Canadiens, Nashville Predators and New Jersey Devils. The Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation has stated that Subban’s efforts for the “Unexpected Ways to Heal” campaign have aided approximately 100,000 children during that time.
The hospital has recognised Subban’s contribution as the largest philanthropic commitment by a professional athlete in Canada.
A Career on the Ice
Subban, originally from Toronto, was drafted by the Canadiens in the second round of the 2007 NHL Draft. After the 2012-13 season, he won the Norris Trophy as the League’s best defenceman.
A three-time NHL All-Star, Subban was traded to the Nashville Predators before the 2016-17 season. In his first season there, he helped lead them to the Stanley Cup Final.
Recognition for Leadership
Subban won the King Clancy Memorial Trophy for leadership and humanitarian contribution. This was after his final NHL season with the Devils in 2021-22.
P.K. now officially stands for promise kept.
