Subban, who has some experience in front of the TV last Stanley Cup Playoffs with ESPN, has signed on to be a full-time member of the ESPN hockey panel. After a surprising retirement in September, the fan favorite has signed a three-year agreement with ESPN and will find himself as a studio analyst this season.

Subban had this to say about the career change:

I’ve known for a few weeks now. It’s been tough to have known what I was gonna do that and just kind of keep it close to the chest. But I’m excited now that we’re now here. I had done some work last postseason and it was great. I enjoyed working with the producers and everybody. I’m excited to bring that passion and that energy that I brought on the ice to something else that I’m passionate about. I hope that they’re just as excited as I am to get started. The people that follow and know me know that I keep honest. I’m gonna be myself, and hopefully that’s what they want to see. I think that’s what people are excited about.

Expect to see more of Subban on your broadcast and look for episodes of 'P.K's Places', a series that will debut in 2023.
