In a recent development, it has been revealed that NHL veteran Zach Parise, who has amassed well over 1000 games, will be hanging up his skates at the end of the current season.
Parise has been a prominent figure in the NHL for the past two decades, notably representing the New Jersey Devils from 2005 to 2012 and the Minnesota Wild from 2012 to 2021. However, his illustrious career will come to a close after this season, as he announced his retirement.
Throughout his remarkable career, Parise has showcased his talent in 1229 games, scoring 430 goals and assisting on 450 others, totaling 880 points thus far. As he wraps up his final games with the Avalanche, these numbers are expected to rise.
Parise's retirement announcement adds extra motivation for the Colorado Avalanche to make a deep playoff run, as they aim to secure a Stanley Cup victory for him before he calls it quits. It will be intriguing to see if Parise can end his career on a high note with a championship win.
