George Parros Takes Stache to Florida

“He understands what his role is and he’s got to be an effective player and stay out of the box and also be a real physical player,” Dineen said. “That’s not doing anything but going out there and being an impact player for most of the shift.

Although Parros is usually among the league leaders in fights, with 140 according to Hockeyfights.com, he is far from a goon. He has an economics degree from Princeton University where he did his thesis on the longeshoreman’s lockout in Montreal and its effect on the stock market.
