MARK PARRISH IN GREAT SHAPE

September 17th, 2009 · No Comments

“Parrish looks in exceptional shape and seems to be skating better than ever,” writes Minnesota Star Tribune’s Mike Russo, “after working this summer with powerskating extraordinaire Barry Karn, who runs the local Karn Skating Dynamics and works with the Calgary Flames.

“I’ve never felt better on the ice,” Parrish said. “It’s amazing. I’ve known him for years and finally got stubborn enough to realize I probably need a little help with my skating. I can already feel the difference.”

If it doesn’t work out on the Island [New York Islanders] or on Florida’s Gulf Coast [Tampa Bay], Parrish said he’d go to Europe.

“I would if it came to that. I’m not afraid of that. I just want to still play hockey, so if that’s where it would be, that’s where it would be. But I’m still holding out hopes that something will work out here [in the NHL].”

It sounds like fitness isn’t Parrish’s problem, however.
