RUSH ADD DEFENSEMAN NICK PARODY FROM SPHL-FAYETTEVILLE

(RAPID CITY, S.D.) – The Rapid City Rush, proud affiliate of the NHL’s Calgary Flames, announced Saturday via a Heartland Health and Wellness Roster Adjustment, defenseman Nick Parody has been called-up from the SPHL’s Fayetteville Marksmen and agreed to terms with the Rush. 

Parody, 25, has skated in 23 games for Fayetteville this season and has amassed four assists from the Marksmen blueline. A former NCAA division-I defenseman, Parody played three seasons at Canisius before finishing his collegiate career with 25 games at Elmira College. 

The rookie defenseman began his professional journey with the Marksmen last season, skating in six games and making the playoff roster for the group.
