An excerpt from the Hockey’s Future article by Jason Menard:
P.K. Subban, D, Belleville Bulls — OHL
6’0, 202 pounds
2nd round, 43rd overall, 2007
Much is expected out of this blueliner from Rexdale, ON, and the early-season reviews have been good. Following a breakout 2006-07 campaign and a stellar post-season last year where he reclaimed some of that lost magic, Subban has started out strong for the OHL-contending Belleville Bulls.
In 23 games, Subban’s scored four goals and added 24 assists. He also played a key role on Team OHL in their recent contests against the Russians (he was an alternate captain for the club), and he is expected to play a key role on the blueline for Team Canada this year in Ottawa.
With Belleville poised to go deep in the OHL playoffs and as a key blueline member of a Team Canada squad that’s always expected to compete for top honors, Subban should have plenty of opportunities to grow and shine this season.
Subban’s growth is coming in leaps and bounds – exemplified by a strong training camp showing this season with the big club – and there’s no reason to expect it to stop anytime soon.
