ESPN announced it has signed three-time NHL All-Star and Norris Trophy winner P.K. Subban to a new multi-year contract extension, keeping the former defenseman in his role as an NHL studio analyst across the network’s platforms.
Subban, who originally joined ESPN in 2022 shortly after retiring from a 13-year NHL career, has become one of the network’s most recognizable voices on its hockey coverage. Known for his energy, candid analysis, and ability to connect with fans, Subban will continue appearing on studio shows and in select game analyst roles.
When he first joined ESPN, Subban emphasized the opportunity to remain connected to the sport while offering insight from both sides of the glass.
“I have a vested interest in growing the game and know the importance of the rapidly expanding sports landscape,” Subban said at the time. “I look forward to bringing my unique insights from having recently been on the ice and now my off-ice perspective.”
Subban’s playing resume speaks for itself. He won the Norris Trophy as the NHL’s top defenseman in 2013 and skated for the Montreal Canadiens, Nashville Predators, and New Jersey Devils. Beyond the rink, he was awarded the King Clancy Memorial Trophy in 2022, honoring his leadership qualities and significant humanitarian contributions. Through the P.K. Subban Foundation, he has supported racial and social justice initiatives, youth programs, COVID-19 relief efforts, and access to hockey for underserved communities.
Internationally, Subban added to his legacy as a member of Team Canada’s gold medal-winning squad at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. He also captured gold medals at the World Junior Championships in 2008 and 2009. Away from competition, he became the cover athlete for EA Sports’ NHL 19, cementing his reputation as one of hockey’s most marketable figures.
