Career As a Professional Ice Hockey Defenceman

The Montreal Canadiens drafted P.K. Subban in the off-season at the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. In May 2009, they gave him a three-year, entry-level contract. He started the 2009-10 season with the Canadiens’ American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Hamilton Bulldogs. Subban played 77 games for the team, registering 18 goals and 35 assists. His performance earned him spots in the AHL’s All-Rookie Team, All-Star Game, and First All-Star Team.

Later in the season, he made his debut for the Canadiens in the NHL in a match against the Philadelphia Flyers on February 12, 2010. While he did not score a goal in that match, he did earn his first NHL point through an assist. During the Playoffs, he played 14 games, scoring one goal and seven assists.

2010-11 was Subban’s first complete season with Montreal Canadiens. He played 77 games, recording 14 goals and 24 assists. In the 2011 Playoffs, he played seven games, earning four points.
