No one took the loss of PK Subban from the Canadiens harder than members of the Montreal Children's Hospital. He was a big part of the community in Montreal, which makes it surprising that he never won the award sooner. However, the NHL righted a wrong by giving him the award before retirement.

Subban donated $1 million to support Le Spot, a mental health clinic in Montreal. He also matched donations of up to $100,000 to help Ukranian cancer patients who arrived for life-saving treatments. Subban founded the PK Subban Foundation and was a co-chair on the Player Inclusion Committee. He dealt with causes such as racial and social justice, underserved youth, COVID-19 relief, and youth hockey.
