Zayne Parekh makes public apology after controversial comments at WJC
Zayne Parekh is a star of the future for the Calgary Flames, but now he's offered his apologies after recent comments upset members of his team.
The Calgary Flames have a potential superstar in Zayne Parekh, who recently broke the record for Canadian defenseman at the World Juniors with a staggering 13 points in a bronze-medal winning tournament from Canada.
However, he landed himself in some hot water with the Calgary Flames after recent comments about not being able to have a personality in the NHL were not taken too well by his teammates and the rest of the organization.
Parekh apologizes for his recent comments
While most fans that saw these comments had absolutely no issue with it, it frustrated many in Calgary, and now, potentially at the behest of the organization, he's offered a public apology.
Some things got spun out of proportion & probably worded things wrongly ... I sincerely apologize to the Flames organization & my teammates. At the end of the day, that's not acceptable & that can't happen. - Zayne Parekh
This situation is likely no where near as big as some have made it out to be, as Parekh was simply having a great time and enjoying being able to say whatever he wants, and now, the hope is that this puts a rest to that situation.
Ultimately, Parekh still represents a major part of the Flames future, and these comments are likely going to be old news very quickly, but for now, it's a warning sign of things that are potentially to come for Calgary and the young defenseman.
