Montreal Canadiens defenceman P.K. Subban and his foundation have pledged at least $10 million to the Montreal Children’s Hospital.
“A lot of people don’t realize that having a sick child often means one parent has to stop working, and it becomes tough to make ends meet,” he said.
“P.K.’s Helping Hand is dedicated to making sure that these parents don’t have to worry about paying for necessities like food and medicine and can instead focus on what’s most important: helping their child get well.”
Beliveau’s widow, Elise, attended the news conference as did Subban’s family.
Subban was drafted by the Canadiens in 2007 and won the James Norris Trophy as the NHL’s best defenceman in 2013.
He is entering his sixth full season with the team.
Subban signed an eight-year deal worth $72 million prior to the beginning of last season.
