These kids had something to smile about; they met their hero, P.K. Subban. And, not just any old way! He was on the ice, dressed in his NHL hockey uniform, ready to play and share his tips and tricks to becoming a champion.

More than 160 kids aged 8 to 15 attended the second edition of the SUBBAN DEFENCE LEAGUE at the Sportplexe Pierrefonds, on August 25th and 26th, to learn from their hockey hero. P.K. shared tips about his training habits, his key exercises and the secrets behind his success.

All proceeds from the event go to P.K.’s Helping Hand, a fund dedicated to assisting vulnerable families financially devastated by a child’s illness.

Judging by the happy faces leaving the arena, we can only conclude the weekend was exhausting but oh so much fun!
