Montreal Canadiens star defenseman P.K. Subban is using his offseason to put smiles on the faces of some local neighborhood kids.
The Norris Trophy winner pulled up on the group of children unplanned and joined them in a game of street hockey. Watch below:
One of the local fathers couldn’t believe it when his son ran to tell him the NHL star was playing pickup with his group of friends, and had to go see for himself.
“I don’t even know if he realizes how big that was. You have the Norris Trophy winner taking one-timers on you in a net,” the boy’s father said. “Everybody in Montreal who is into hockey has this affinity for P.K. because he shows this youthfulness and this fun. One of my neighbours said he’s like the Muhammad Ali of hockey”.
Subban posed for photos with the kids before leaving. Always good when pro athletes give some of their attention to their biggest fans. Moments like this will be remembered by many of these kids for a long, long time.
