The 28-year-old defenceman, who was traded to the Nashville Predators last year for Shea Weber, has a long history with the hospital. He was well-known for often visiting patients and has committed to raising $10 million for the facility.
Since the trade, Subban has developed a connection with the kids in Nashville as well. In December, he took several patients on a sleigh ride through the Tennessee city before treating them to gear from the Predators’ store. The youngsters also received letters from some of Subban’s young friends at the Montreal Children’s Hospital.
