Cedric Pare, born on January 24, 1999, in Lévis, Quebec, Canada, has made a name for himself as a center with strong two-way capabilities. Drafted by the Boston Bruins in the 6th round (173rd overall) of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, Pare’s development has seen him make an impact at various levels, including the AHL and ECHL.
Strengths:
One of Pare’s greatest strengths is his size. Standing at 6’4″ and weighing 212 lbs, Pare uses his frame effectively to protect the puck and create space for himself and his teammates. His playmaking abilities have improved over the years, with a notable uptick in point production during his QMJHL days, particularly with Rimouski Oceanic. Pare also excels in the faceoff circle, a critical asset for any center.
Weaknesses:
Despite his size, Pare is not known for his speed. His skating, while adequate, is an area that could use refinement to elevate his game to the NHL level consistently. Additionally, while his offensive game has shown flashes, he needs to develop more consistency to secure a long-term NHL role.
