MONTREAL - P.K. Subban is coming home on January 12.

In addition to an on-ice pregame ceremony prior to puck drop against the Preds, Subban will also take part in a meet-and-greet event with fans at the Tricolore Sports Bell Centre flagship location. Details will be released closer to the event date.

"We are thrilled to welcome P.K. back to his first NHL home this January," said Canadiens owner, president, and CEO Geoff Molson. "We look forward to giving our fans a chance to celebrate his career and the impact he had - and continues to have - on the Montreal community. Whether it's kids on local minor hockey teams choosing to wear No. 76, or the number of fans we see on any given night at the Bell Centre who still proudly wear their Subban jerseys, you don't have to go far to understand the influence P.K. had on the popularity of the sport in Quebec."

Subban, who announced his retirement in September via Instagram, made his mark both on and off the ice during his seven seasons in Montreal. In 434 games played, he racked up 63 goals and 278 points, adding another 38 points in 55 career playoff games as a Hab. Beyond the walls of the Bell Centre, the 2013 Norris Trophy winner's impact within the community through the P.K. Subban Foundation, and with the Montreal Children's Hospital in particular, helped cement his undeniable legacy in the city.

Tickets for the "P.K. Subban Homecoming" game against the Predators are available.
