Feature Interview
presented by NHL Sense Arena
In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, we re-play our memorable conversation with the Philadelphia Flyers Icon and Hall of Fame goalie from almost five years ago. Named one of the 100 greatest players of all time, Parent led the Flyers to two Stanley Cups in 1973-74 and 1974-75, winning both the Conn Smythe and Vezina Trophies each time, but it was his warmth and generosity that endeared him to Philadelphia long after he retire because of an eye injury.
Both come through, along with his great sense of humor and storytelling, as he talks about everything from his introduction to the game growing up in Montreal, his mentorship under childhood hero Jacques Plante, and his memorable appearance in the 2012 Winter Classic Alumni Game.
