"You might think that I'm doing so much for you, but the truth is you do so much for me," he wrote.

"Just because I have a new address, it doesn't mean that my commitment to you and the hospital is going to change one bit," Subban wrote.
Subban was in Montreal earlier this week to host a Just for Laughs comedy gala.
During his stand-up segment, he took the opportunity to take a few jabs at Habs' management. He also thanked the team for helping him get his start in the NHL.
The comedy show raised $130,000 for the hospital.
