Parisi is an excellent skater. He has great first step quickness, good speed in both directions, and excellent acceleration. Add to this good agility, edge work and pivots and you have a defenceman who can cover a lot of ice. The 21-year-old is able to join the rush and get back defensively. He makes good heads up passes with the puck, but can stand to add some power on his shot, and that is why he probably won’t be a power play guy at the next level. He plays a solid two-way game though, and is very tough to beat off the rush. He also works hard to keep the front of the net clear and allow his goaltender to see shots, while also working well to clear the rebound.
