J.P. Parise, a star player for the old North Stars, and a longtime coach and administrator in Minnesota, died Wednesday night after a yearlong battle with lung cancer. He was 73.
Parise, a two-time NHL All-Star for the North Stars and standout for Team Canada in the “Summit Series” against the Soviet Union in 1972, was the father of Wild winger Zach Parise (http://www.startribune.com/topics/people/zach-parise.html).
Jean-Paul Parise was born Dec. 11, 1941 in Smooth Rock Falls, Ontario. He was signed by the Boston Bruins as a teenager, and spent several years playing junior and minor league hockey before making his debut with Boston in 1965. Two of his minor league seasons were spent with a Bruins farm team in Minneapolis (http://www.startribune.com/topics/places/minneapolis.html).

The North Stars never should have left Minnesota.

RIP, JP.

I was watching the old North Stars film clips of JP on the news. I noticed that no one, not even the Maple Leaf or Blackhawk goalie, were wearing helmets. It reminded me of when Bill Masterson died.
