It’s been 10 years since PK Subban signed his massive eight-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens. It would ultimately be his last NHL contract.
After signing the $72 million deal, Subban pledged to raise $10 million for the Montreal Children’s Hospital over the next 10 years.
The community embraced his gesture.
However, as time has passed, it has become clear that Subban’s $10 million promise was not fully realized. It is important to note that he pledged to raise the money, not donate it directly from his own pocket.
This has divided opinions. Some argue that his efforts were still commendable, while others maintain that he misled people by promising a specific amount.
The topic continues to generate interest, as Subban’s charitable endeavors remain a point of discussion and memory.
Entrepreneur Luc Poirier recently brought the issue back to the forefront through a video. He made a playful jab at Subban in relation to his own donation commitment. The website InfoLNH covered the story.
Poirier has pledged to donate $650,000 over 10 years ($65,000 annually) to the HEC Montréal foundation to support future entrepreneurs.
In his video explaining his actions, he took aim at Subban.
And unlike PK Subban, I’m giving real money, not just promising to collect money. – Luc Poirier
Until Subban reaches the $10 million goal, this will remain a significant part of his story. It overshadows the positive impact he has made through his contributions and visits, impacting the lives of many young people.
Will he ever reach his target?

It’s already been 10 years since PK Subban signed his big eight-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens. And in the end, it would be his last contract in the National Hockey League.
It will be recalled that following signing this contract, worth $72 million, the defender committed to raising $10 million for the Montreal Children’s Hospital over the next 10 years.
The gesture was welcomed by the community.
That said, the more time has passed, the more we have come to understand that the $10 million that Subban promised to raise (and not that he committed to giving) was not 100% raised by the defenseman.
This created two camps. There were those who said it was better than nothing, which he did… and there were those who said the Canadiens defenseman lied by promising money.
In short. All this to say that the subject continues to attract attention because when we think of Subban, we inevitably think of his gift.
And now entrepreneur Luc Poirier has brought the topic back into the spotlight by throwing a stray ball at Subban in a recent video in connection with a donation he is committed to making. The site InfoLNH reported the news.
Basically, the entrepreneur has committed to giving $650,000 over 10 years ($65,000 per year) to the HEC Montréal foundation in order to support the entrepreneurs of tomorrow.
And in a video aimed at explaining his actions, he targeted Subban.

Until he raises the $10 million, Subban will forever be identified with this story. And that’s regardless of how much money he raised and how much he changed the lives of many young people through his contributions and visits.
Will he ever get there?
