Report: NHL forward admits he had lousy 2016-2017 season.

Minnesota Wild forward Zach Parise recently spoke to the press about his performance last year. Ian Mclaren from the Score is reporting that the 33 year old Minnesota native was less than thrilled about how he played last season.

"For me, last year stunk, I didn't play that well. I've been working on my game, hoping to put myself in a spot to not let that happen again." He told Dan Myers of Wild.com.

"I'm going to prepare the best I can to make sure we have a great year." —Zach Parise
