About
Drafted 9th overall by the Calgary Flames in the 2024 NHL Draft, Zayne Parekh is quickly emerging as one of hockey’s most exciting young talents. A dynamic defenseman with elite offensive instincts, smooth skating, and fearless puck control, Zayne is poised to become a cornerstone of the Flames’ blueline for years to come.
After a record-setting rookie season in the OHL, he followed up with two dominant campaigns - becoming just the second defenseman since Bobby Orr in OHL/OHA history to score 30+ goals in multiple seasons.
Now stepping into the NHL spotlight, Parekh is already turning heads. He scored in his debut game and continues to impress with the same confidence and creativity that made him a top-ten pick. As a proud player of South Asian descent, Zayne is also helping to shape a more diverse future for the sport paving the way for the next generation of fans and athletes.
This season is only the beginning for Zayne Parekh.
