CALGARY – Two weeks after arriving on the Flames prospect tourney with a swagger befitting junior hockey’s highest-scoring defenceman, Zayne Parekh exited foremost camp Friday with a ticket house and a heaping serving to of humility.
“Ya, it’s hard,” he stated of his first up-close glimpse at what the National Hockey League is all about.
“A very humbling week.”
Pausing ever so barely, he was fast so as to add, “but it was good.”
Sent again to the defending Memorial Cup champion Saginaw Spirit by the Flames after taking part in two exhibition video games as an 18-year-old hopeful, Parekh gave a fairly-wide-eyed evaluation of how he matched up in opposition to NHL vets.

“You don’t know what it’s like to skate with Jonathan Huberdeau, or the Kadris or the Backlunds, so you get on the ice with those guys and you’re a little star-struck for sure,” stated the Flames’ ninth-overall choose this summer time.
“When you play in opposition to such excessive calibre gamers and also you follow with all execs you sort of see their habits and the issues they do day by day … actually spectacular.
“Really humbling being round these guys and also you see how robust a league it’s to crack, however I’m excited to attempt to crack it subsequent yr.
“You sort of perceive how good these gamers are, and the way distant you might be.
“I’ve got a long way to go, and I’m excited.”
Flames followers needs to be too, as he has the instruments to be an influence NHLer, for certain.
Sure, he was clearly swimming with sharks his first go-round, taking a quiet, extra tentative strategy to a sport he usually assaults from each angle.
Two vital issues have been evident — his skating is classy, and his passing skill is elite.
But the one factor he got here to camp with in spades disappeared as early as the primary prospects sport when he was pickpocketed on the opposition’s blue line in time beyond regulation, leading to a 2-on-0 that misplaced his staff the sport.
It was his, “welcome to the big league” second.

“I lacked confidence throughout the week,” stated Parekh, a naturally gifted athlete who in all probability by no means anticipated to utter such phrases.
“I thought my gaps were good, and my stickwork was good. I think I just need to be more physical down low, especially in the box-out area.”
Asked what else he wanted to work on, the six-foot, 185-pound defenceman cited the significance of coming again greater and stronger, one thing he had little time to work on in a summer time during which he gained a nationwide crown, was drafted within the first spherical, attended the Flames’ improvement camp, and was a part of the world junior summer time showcase.
The child who scored an unimaginable 33 targets and 96 factors in 66 video games from the again finish vows to come back again with extra confidence and a watch on swiping an NHL gig subsequent fall.
In a dinner-time dialog with sophomore camp standout Sam Honzek one evening earlier, he discovered his inspiration.
“Honzie is a 20-year-old now and we were talking about how much more comfortable he felt and how good he looked,” stated Parekh, whose underwhelming displaying this fall mirrored that of Honzek’s a yr earlier.
“A participant who has handled rather a lot during the last year-and-a-half however he’s beginning to show individuals incorrect.
“He sort of simply informed me how the second time round you perceive what you might be moving into.
“I actually didn’t perceive what I used to be moving into. But that’s an excellent factor. It’s a very good studying expertise for me and I’ll have a greater camp.
“At the end of the day I’m still a kid and still trying to learn as I go.”
Although a handful of gamers each decade make the bounce look simple, the step from junior to the NHL is huge.
“In junior I could dominate to a completely different extent than here,” he stated.
“I’m not the man who’s going to step in at 18 and dominate each shift.
“Two utterly various things.
“I’ve discovered I’ve obtained to maintain myself sincere once I’m right here by way of gaps. You can’t sort of cheat the sport the identical manner you’ll be able to take just a few strides off in junior.
“You’re not trying to do something cool every time you touch the puck, but there’s definitely a time and place for that.”
He’ll be taught shortly.
He’s too sensible a participant to not take this quite sobering expertise and switch it right into a motivator transferring ahead.
“I don’t think I had the best camp — I think I could have given more, but it was all positive from them,” stated Parekh of his exit assembly with staff brass.
“I’m fairly laborious on myself. I at all times give myself somewhat crap there. But they’re actually pleased with me.
“They’re really excited for what the future holds.”
An early exit from hist first camp gained’t change that.
NOTES: Nazam Kadri left follow early Friday after colliding with Blake Coleman, however Huska believes his high centre averted important harm on the play. Jake Bean, Martin Pospisil and Matt Coronato all missed follow with decrease physique accidents, however nothing is severe. Kevin Bahl, the important thing participant within the Jacob Markstrom commerce, skated with the staff for the primary time in camp following a decrease physique ailment.
