Zayne Parekh emerges as Calgary Flames' future star

yardbarker.com

Zayne Parekh is being compared to NHL star Quinn Hughes as he impresses with his skills on the ice. The young defenceman is expected to lead the Calgary Flames' power play in the future. He has been breaking records, including those set by hockey legend Bobby Orr. In his second season in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), Parekh has shown exceptional offensive talent. Last season, he scored 33 goals and had 96 points in 66 games. This year, he already has 33 goals and 69 assists in just 59 games. His scoring ability is remarkable for a defenceman, making him the first in modern OHL history to have back-to-back 30-goal seasons. Parekh's skating is a key part of his game. His agility allows him to create scoring opportunities and outmaneuver defenders. He uses deceptive moves to open passing and shooting lanes. However, his defensive skills are still developing. He sometimes struggles with consistency and can get pushed around in games. While some see Parekh as the next Quinn Hughes, it's important to note their differences. Hughes has a stronger defensive game, something Parekh needs to work on. Despite this, Parekh has the potential to become a top defenceman in the NHL. With some improvements, fans of the Flames have much to look forward to.
