PK Subban makes good on commitment, donates $10M to Montreal Children’s Hospital

Published

Over a decade ago, PK Subban was one of the top defensemen in the NHL. He had already won a Norris Trophy and was one of the faces of the Montreal Canadiens when he made a big promise: he was going to donate $10 million to the Montreal Children’s Hospital.

That was in 2015, and a little over a year later, the Canadiens shipped him off to Nashville in a blockbuster trade for Hall of Fame blueliner Shea Weber.

But that didn’t mean that he was going to break his promise.

It was announced on Friday that Subban has achieved his mission of donating $10 million to the hospital, something that, according to The Montreal Gazette, is the biggest philanthropic commitment by an athlete in Canada.

“It was difficult. Definitely had its difficulties,” Subban said. “Was there any doubt in my mind? No, because I made a commitment that I was always gonna follow through on.”

Subban — who now works as an analyst for ESPN — said ahead of a Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation gala on Friday that getting to that lofty number was a serious challenge, and was made even more difficult by those who doubted his commitment and follow-through.

“At 23 years old, I think for people to see somebody take on that level of responsibility breeds questions,” Subban said. “For those doubters, I hope they believe in themselves. Don’t doubt other people, just find that courage to believe in yourself, and believe that the impossible is possible, and we just proved that.”

Hats off to PK for this one. The foundation says the funds he donated have helped 100,000 kids, and that is just awesome.

It would’ve been easy to go the “Scott’s Tots” route (fans of “The Office” know what I mean) when he was traded out of town, but nope. He was true to his word.

Great stuff from PK.

Trump shows up at LIV Golf event at his Virginia course after calling for players to rejoin PGA Tour

Published

on

President Donald Trump is at his second golf tournament in as many weeks, both of which were at courses he owns.

A week after catching PGA Tour action at his Doral course in South Florida, Trump motorcaded to Trump National Golf Course Washington D.C. in Sterling, Virginia, to watch LIV golfers.

Trump arrived at a presidential suite via golf cart where his son, Eric, was seated with someone from the Public Investment Fund, whom the president shook hands with.

Amid the uncertainty of LIV Golf after the league announced the Saudis would no longer fund it after this season, Trump said last week that LIV golfers returning to the PGA Tour would be beneficial to the sport.

“I do believe that all of the golfers should be playing against each other. They were viewing something as a monopoly, but it’s swaying away. It should be the opposite of a monopoly,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office last Thursday.

“I want to see Rory [McIlroy] playing Bryson DeChambeau. I want to see big Jon Rahm playing Scottie, who is so great. Scottie Scheffler is great. They have great players on LIV, but it’s almost like people want to see that. That’s why the Masters was so good, because you saw everybody together.

“The tour wants to have the best players. You can’t have the best player that they’re boycotting now. They may do something, you know, a little bit, but they’ll all be back on tour, and it’ll be great. I don’t know what’s happening with LIV.”

Trump has attended LIV events at his courses in the past. This is one of two LIV events at a Trump course this year, as they’ll head to Bedminster, New Jersey in August.

The Cadillac Championship last week, won by Cameron Young, was the first time in a decade that the PGA Tour was at one of Trump’s courses.

Trump was also in attendance for the first day of the Ryder Cup last year at Bethpage Black in New York.

“The suspect is actively firing at police,” officials said. “Residents are urged to SHELTER IN PLACE and avoid the area immediately. Please stay indoors, stay away from windows, and avoid the area entirely. Do not respond to the scene.”

Authorities said the incident started at about 6 a.m., when police were called to investigate a person injuring a dog with a machete in a residential area a few minutes south of downtown Syracuse, Syracuse.com reported.

The neighborhood is mostly made up of public housing complexes and low-income apartment buildings.

While executing a search warrant, two officers were shot and another was injured.

Nearby residents are being evacuated by bus, according to the outlet.

New York State Police, Syracuse SWAT, Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office, Syracuse Fire Department and Syracuse University campus police are responding, according to Syracuse.com.
