Malcolm Subban grew up as a goaltender trapped in a defenseman’s body.

Finally, at age 12, Subban threatened to quit hockey altogether if his father/coach, Karl, didn’t to permit him to play his preferred position.

“My dad wasn’t too happy when I wanted to switch,” the Golden Knights goaltender said.

Twelve years after Karl Subban allowed his middle son to ditch playing defense and strap on a pair of pads, Malcolm Subban has solidified himself as an NHL goaltender.
