Subban’s latest foray is “P.K.’s Places,” a hockey show by Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions for ESPN that puts him at the forefront of a sport eager to embrace and showcase diversity.
“It’s incredible, and I think it really shows the commitment to diversity that ESPN and Disney and Omaha and the NHL has to really growing the game and expanding the roots,” ESPN senior managing producer Lindsay Rovegno said. “He’s a natural choice. He’s passionate, he’s high energy, he’s fun. It’s really very clear that he wants to expand the game and wants people to see that there’s a history but there’s also a really fun element to the sport.
“When I didn’t have an opportunity to play on a team that I thought was the right fit to do that, it was a no-brainer for me to go in a different direction,” Subban said. “The way I played the game was I give 150% every shift … I have that same passion that I had on the ice to bring it to media.” Riffing with Manning and interviewing Ray Bourque about winning the Cup and celebrating in Boston takes Subban beyond just the analyst realm and allows him to show some of the personality that made him a star in the NHL from Montreal to Nashville to New Jersey for more than a decade.Article content
