ONE HECKUVA ‘TER’
MORE THAN A YEAR after his jaw dropped when his name was called 17th overall by the Washington Capitals at The Sphere in Las Vegas, Terik Parascak isn’t resting on his laurels as a 2024 first-round pick. “Every day is a new day to keep working, keep improving myself and my game to get to the NHL one day,” he said. “After the draft’s done, it doesn’t matter where you go. It’s what you do after that. That’s kind of how I look at it, but I wouldn’t say it’s even fully sunk in yet.” Fair enough. The Lethbridge, Alta., native went from a fourth-round selection by the Prince George Cougars in the 2021 WHL draft to a 105-point 2023-24 rookie campaign with the Cougars in his NHL draft year.…
TURN OF MAIZE
ON JUNE 5, THE Kitchener Rangers were ecstatic because they had just received a commitment from one of the top 2008-born players in the world, Adam Valentini. On Aug. 18, the organization released a statement awash in disappointment, saying Valentini had chosen not to honor his commitment and would instead be heading to the University of Michigan earlier than expected. Valentini’s change of heart was a devastating blow to the Rangers, especially because it came just a week before players reported for training camp. The move blindsided Rangers GM Mike McKenzie. He was adamant that, despite the organization still owning Valentini’s rights, the 17-year-old would not play for the team if he decided to return to the OHL in the future. As recently as mid-July, Valentini spoke with excitement about…
DON’T WRITE IT IN PENN
FOR PENNSYLVANIA NATIVE Caden Harvey, the OHL was so far out of his mind that it wasn’t even really a consideration. Harvey viewed the USHL as the natural incubator for his development, given he was an American kid who dreamed of playing hockey at the school his father attended. That plan remained unchanged last fall, even after the NCAA changed its eligibility rules to allow CHLers to make the jump. Harvey was still just as happy to take the step into the USHL for a couple of years and then head to Penn State. The OHL was still out of sight, out of mind – especially since Harvey wasn’t selected in the first ‘O’ draft for which he was eligible. “My goal has always been to play at Penn State,”…

TRUE LOVE
LINKEDIN.COM/IN/ROUSTAN IT IS MONDAY (LABOUR DAY), Sept. 1, 2025 at 10:00 p.m. EDT, and I just now signed the signature page of the agreement to acquire True Hockey, True Lacrosse and True Baseball, all under the banner of True Sports. I have to admit that I am a tad overwhelmed as I digest that I just signed the deal to acquire the most exciting hockey brand in the world, in my (experienced) opinion. As most of you know, since you are loyal readers of The Hockey News, I have a long history of owning hockey and sports-related companies in my career. For those of you who don’t, I have been an owner of Bauer Hockey, Cascade Lacrosse, Mission-Itech and Maverik Lacrosse. I am the current owner of Christian Hockey, Northland…
