Daily Dose of the Dub: Parik appears headed to Chiefs, Hanas leads USA Hockey Development Camp

Parik appears to be headed to Chiefs 

Los Angeles Kings prospect Lukas Paric appears set to join the WHL’s Spokane Chiefs, according to player agent Allan Walsh. Paric was drafted by the Chiefs with their first-round pick in Thursday’s CHL Import Draft. He spent the majority of last season with Bili Tygri Liberec U19 of the Czech U-19 league, where he posted a 2.85 GAA and .917 save percentage in 32 games.

The Chiefs currently have three goaltenders signed for the 2019-20 season: overage goaltenders Bailey Brkin and Reece Klassen, as well as 17-year-old Campbell Arnold, who has played two games for the Chiefs since being chosen in the second round of the 2017 WHL Bantam Draft. It’s reasonable to expect the Chiefs to move at least one of their overage netminders before the start of the 2019-20 season.

Hanas leads 2019 USA Boys Select 17 Player Development Camp

Portland Winterhawks forward Cross Hanas had an impressive showing at the 2019 USA Boys Select Player Development Camp. The Highland Village, Texas, native finished with four goals and nine assists in five games, which included two five-point games. The camp is being held to help USA Hockey finalize their Hlinka Gretzky Cup roster, which should be announced later today. Last year with the Winterhawks, Hanas had eight goals and 14 assists in 67 games, and appears poised to easily surpass that number next season.

Maple Leafs sign Marincin to contract extension

The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed defenseman Martin Marincin (125 GP, 25 G, 71 A with the Prince George Cougars and Regina Pats) to a one-year contract extension. Marincin has been with the Maple Leafs since the 2015-16 season. He was originally drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in the second round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
