Timeline

2016

In September 2016, the NHL announced that Parros had joined the league's Department of Player Safety. In September 2017, he was promoted to Head of the Department of Player Safety, succeeding Stéphane Quintal. Upon being promoted Parros said, "What uniquely positions me for the job is that I played the game as physically as anybody and I never once was fined or suspended." Parros plans on renewing emphasis on slashing and other "nonhockey plays."

Parros is a fan of Swedish metal band Amon Amarth and is featured in their music video for the song "Raise Your Horns" of the 2016 album "Jomsviking".

Parros lost his balance and fell headfirst to the ice, he was taken off on a stretcher with a concussion. Parros missed the next twelve games as a result of his injuries. This incident touched off renewed debate regarding fighting's place in the National Hockey League and player safety moving forward. After returning to play, Parros sustained a second concussion on December 14, 2013 following a fight with Eric Boulton during a game against the New York Islanders. Parros next played on January 11, 2014, in a game against the Chicago Blackhawks. However, he saw limited action during the season, either because of injury or because of being a healthy scratch, and appeared in only 22 games in total.
