RIP JP Parise

[forty_three]

Former North Star J.P. Parise, father of Wild winger, dies at 73 | Star Tribune

A gentleman of the sport who clearly passed on his love of the game to the next generation.

JP is likely best known for one moment during the 72 Summit Series with the Russians where he almost killed a ref with a attempted baseball swing of his stick (lucky that he stopped himself just in time). It was so out of character as he was a true gentleman on the ice.


RIP JP.

Josef Kampala and Franz Baeder were the two officials over in Moscow that drove the Canadians crazy. The media dubbed them as "Baeder and Worse".

There was a lot of nastiness going on in that series. Can't really condemn a guy for losing it during that time.

But that was waaaaaay out of character for JP.

My condolences to the Parise family.

Yeah that's the series where Bobby Clarke 2-handed a Soviet player and broke his ankle. A lot of bad blood between the 2 nations back then. I remember seeing J.P. play. Always a clean player. Sad to hear of his passing. R.I.P. J.P., and FUCK CANCER!!!!!
