He became a first time father at the age of 40.
Prior to playing with the North Stars, he played a total of 22 games in three seasons with two different teams.
His contribution to the 1972 Summit Series was overshadowed by the fact he threatened to attack a referee with his stick, which almost cost Canada the victory.

Prior to his ejection from Game 8 of the Summit Series, he defied the odds and played alongside future Hall of Fame forward Phil Esposito.

He served as the hockey director at Shattuck-St. Mary's Prep School where his son, Zach Pariseattended.
