Seeing the “Atrium P.K. Subban” lettering as he walked in the hospital gave him goosebumps.
P.K. Subban has made what Montreal Children’s Hospital is calling “the biggest philanthropic commitment by a sports figure in Canadian history.”
The star defenceman for the Montreal Canadiens will donate $10 million — minimum — to the hospital.
Subban, who called Montreal his second home Wednesday, is also making a commitment to raise funds for the hospital for seven years as a spokesman.
As a thank-you, the hospital named its three-story atrium in honor of Subban.
“P.K. is a person of character, who strives for success, always working at new ways to stay on top of his game and he understands the value of teamwork,” Martine Alfonso, associate executive director of the hospital said in a release. “He is an outstanding role model for our patients.”
