Canadiens defenceman P.K. Subban has had his name chanted by thousands of adoring fans, but never quite like this.

With hundreds of staff and patients screaming “P.K.! P.K.! P.K.!” Wednesday morning, Subban entered the atrium that now bears his name at the Montreal Children’s Hospital. When he saw his name several floors up on the atrium wall, welcoming everyone who enters the hospital, he admitted that for the first time in a long time, he felt goose bumps.

The P.K. Subban Atrium is in recognition of a $10-million, seven-year pledge he made to the Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation, his way of giving back to a city he calls his second home.

“Montrealers have taken me into their hearts in the past five years that I have been here and I hope to stay here … for a very long time. My love for Montreal is why I wanted to make a significant contribution to this city and to this province,” said the 26-year-old Subban.
