P.K. Subban Gives Back to Montréal

By Raye Mocioiu

It’s comeback season for P.K. Subban.

The star athlete is known for his commitment to giving back, and even after two years of adapting to pandemic life, he shows no signs of slowing down.

The Subban Defence League (SDL), Subban’s specialized hockey camp designed to develop young players into difference makers and leaders, will be returning to in-person learning with this year’s “The Comeback Season,” the biggest camp experience yet. Happening in Toronto from July 25-28 and in Montréal from August 2 and 3, campers ages 6-15 will learn to play “the P.K. way.”

The SDL gives young players the advantage of top-quality coaching and programming, equipping them with the tools necessary to Change the Game and turn heads in every arena they enter. Subban and his elite team of coaches will work with campers on the skills that create a champion athlete. On and off the ice, students will leave camp with lessons that will carry through to every facet of life. Each day will feature dryland training and the on-ice skills and drills that Subban still uses to this day.

All proceeds from the Subban Defence League are directly donated to the Montréal Children’s Hospital, a long-time partner and recipient of the P.K.’s Helping Hand program. Last August, the former Montréal Canadien visited The Children’s Hospital to lend a helping hand to the “Tannants au volant car rally,” which raised $300,000 in one day for the hospital.

Program donations are used to provide financial support to over 600 families a year, equip the Neonatal Care Unit family lounges with healthy food options so parents can stay close to their babies while taking care of themselves, donate free books (in 28 different languages) for disadvantaged families with sick children ages 0-5, and so much more…[read more]
