Subban's foundation teamed up with Air Canada and launched the #CanadaCarols call-out Tuesday, encouraging participants tomake a donation to the Children's Miracle Network, as well.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,who screened the new Star Wars movie yesterday with kids at theChildren's Hospital of Eastern Ontario,has not yet responded to Subban's challenge, but many others have, posting videos of themselvesbelting out the holiday favourite on Twitter and YouTube.
A compilation of some of the submissions will be screened for kids in several Canadian children'shospitals on Dec. 23.
