## Resource

Zayne Parekh, the ninth overall pick in 2024, delivered a breakout rookie season despite a shortened slate—37 games, 4 goals, 9 points—projecting to 20 points over 82 games. A dominant OHL defenseman with back-to-back 30-goal seasons, he skipped the AHL to jump straight into the NHL, where injuries and international duty cut his year short. Still, he made waves with a record-setting 13 points for Team Canada at the 2026 World Juniors, surpassing legends like Pietrangelo and McCabe. His crowning moment? A game-winning goal in the final seconds of the Flames’ last game of the season—a toe drag, button hook, and laser shot from a tough angle. With his offensive flair and potential to outshine even comparisons to Evan Bouchard, Parekh is poised to become a cornerstone of the Flames’ future.
