John Terry may yet have played his last game at Stamford Bridge after the Chelsea captain cancelled an end-of-season kickabout with his family and friends. Terry, 35, had booked the pitch he has graced since his 1998 debut prior to being offered a one-year extension to his contract with the Londoners last week.The club were due to celebrate his achievement of reaching the 700-game mark this season against Leicester on Sunday, but he missed the 1-1 draw with Claudio Ranieris side while serving a ban for his red card at Sunderland the previous week. Terry had looked to be on his way out of Stamford Bridge after a career in which he won four league titles, five FA Cups, three League Cups, one Champions League and the Europa League, along with 78 England caps.However, a new one-year deal was put on the table last week, the length of contract in keeping with the proposal offered by a number of top clubs to players over 30 years of age. Chelsea fans display a banner in support of John Terry during their 1-1 draw at Liverpool But the future remains uncertain as Terry, who was linked with moves to China and the MLS, has yet to confirm whether he intends to take up the offer from the club - the only Premier League side he would ever play for.After the game on Sunday, he spoke to his adoring fans who heard their Captain, Leader, Legend reiterate his love for the club he has graced since walking in as a 14-year-old schoolboy.

Subban. From the lockout, to the contract negotiations that kept him out of the first few weeks of the season, to a Northeast Division title and Norris Trophy. He has grown as a player both on and off the ice. While Subban is a player who attracts and thrives in the spotlight, there is a calming and steady influence in his life day in and day out that keeps him grounded. That man is his father Karl. Teaming up with his son P.K., the Subbans are currently on tour with their Hyundai Hockey Helpers program, which provides assistance to families with the financial burdens of playing hockey. Through a grant system, the program helps with everything from enrollment to equipment. Hundreds of dealerships across Canada contribute financially, including 61 in Quebec. Last year, the program helped 1800 kids, including 339 in La Belle Province. For Karl Subban, its all about helping out at the grassroots level. "Hockey is not an end; its a means to an end. This here gives meaning. Being involved with the Hyundai Hockey Helpers program is right up our alley. I wouldnt want to be doing anything else right now" he remarked during a press conference in Montreal. "Helping kids to develop, helping others to develop, I mean, what better way to spend our lives." After listening to Karl speak, its not hard to see why he has been a steady influence on all three of his boys, especially P.K. who is the first to crack the NHL. His encouragement is unwavering, but so is his support and guidance, reminding his son, that a Norris Trophy is a great honour, but there is much work to be done. "If yesterdays achievement is as big today, then your focus is not in the right place" said Karl. Even though his son is a star player in the NHL, hes not afraid to play the parent role every once in a while. "He knows that hes obligated to his fans, the Montreal Canadiens and the NHL. His focus is in the right place and if its not, Karl Subban and Maria Subban, his parents, will make sure that his focus is on the Stanley Cup and the Montreal Canadiens." Despite his input, that doesnt mean he gets involved on the business side of things. "PK is in good hands" "I know my role is to support him and also to discipline him if he needs disciplining" joked Karl. There are times as well when not much needs to be said, as was the case during P.K.s contract talks. "I didnt have to say too much to him" said Karl. "People dont know this, the first game that Montreal played, we were at home sitting at our dinner table on a Saturday night, and he had his head down in the table, because he missed the game so much. So I didnt have to say much, because I know how much he loves the game and he wanted to play bad." That drive to pplay the game, is the passion that fuels Subban on the ice, which at times gives his game a bit of an edge that he embraces, and makes no apology for.dddddddddddd "Well of course I had a chip on my shoulder, its a shortened season and I want to win the Cup. If Im not playing with a chip on my shoulder, Im not effective. I think playing with that chip on my shoulder has got me into trouble sometimes, but I always play with a chip on my shoulder" remarked P.K. That style of play has also brought on its fair share of cheers, comments and at times, criticism, in which P.K. takes all in stride. "People being critical of me doesnt bother me at all" said P.K. "People can say whatever they want, if you look at what Ive kind of gone through in the past three years playing in Montreal, Ive been through the ups and downs of everything, I mean some people go through their whole careers and dont experience some of the things that not only myself, but my teammates have experienced in Montreal." Over the years, his father has helped guide him through the rough times with some strong words of self-encouragement. "Your potential lies inside of you, it gives you the ability to reach for something to become something. So it doesnt matter what people say around you, its not going to change whats inside of you. Theres greatness inside of you" stated Karl. And that personal drive is what keeps Subban motivated to strive for bigger goals and not rest on his Norris Trophy. "When I look at the past three years, Ive tried to get better every season. I dont think anyone really predicted that I would have won a Norris Trophy, but I mean look at our team, look at how well we played last year. Thats the best team weve had in the last three years that Ive been here, so, Im just a beneficiary of that." Coming off the accolades from this past season, several people wonder what the next contract offer from the Canadiens and Marc Bergevin will be, yet P.K. is quick to remind people hes not at that point yet. "I think a lot of people forget, I signed a two year deal, so I still have another year on my contract." At just 24 years of age, P.K. Subban still has a lot of growth ahead of him, and many years to come of becoming an elite player in the NHL. His two younger brothers Malcolm and Jordan also have the long road ahead of them with NHL aspirations. Through all the stardom, ups and downs and reality of being a Montreal Canadiens player, its good to know that Karl is still that calm, grounding and positive influence on his son. "We see the glass as half full, the cup is never half empty. And he has so much to be thankful for. Hes living his dream, hes making a lot of money, hes achieving and hes helping children. So if he focuses on the positive, the positive will outweigh the negative." ' ' '
