Biography

Karl Subban is a Jamaican-Canadian educator and writer, best known as the father of National Hockey League players P. K. Subban, Malcolm Subban and Jordan Subban. Born in Jamaica, he came to Canada with his family as a pre-teen in the early 1970s, and settled in Sudbury, Ontario. Living in the predominantly francophone Flour Mill neighbourhood, he integrated into the community by playing neighbourhood street hockey, although he never played in an organized league.
