PRINCE GEORGE– The WHL announced Monday that Prince George Cougars forward Terik Parascak has been named Kal Tire WHL Rookie of the Week
The 17-year-old scored four goals in two games in the first weekend of WHL Playoffs- including a hat trick in Game One against the Spokane Chiefs.
With Game One tied 1-1 in the first period, Parascak set up shop on the edge of the Chief’s crease and hammered a rebound into the net on the powerplay to give Prince George its first lead of the night. He added a second by pouncing on a loose puck in the crease in the middle frame to extend the Cougars’ lead to 4-1 and capped off the hat trick with a slick redirection on an Ondrej Becher shot. Helping Prince George to a 6-1 victory in Game One. Parascak would also be named the first star of the game.
The following night, Prince George surged to a 6-0 lead in Game Two. Spokane would try to claw back in with a four-goal third period, but Parascak outwaited a sprawling Chiefs defender to ice the game with an empty-net goal to make it 7-4 final.
