J.P. Parise was one of the many beneficiaries of the 1967 Expansion, and in his late 20s would find a solid footing as a top forward for the Minnesota North Stars. Parise would score 70 Points in two different seasons, the first of which (1969-70) would see him finish seventh in the NHL in Points and sixth in Assists. Twice an All-Star with Minnesota, Parise would go on to play for the New York Islanders and later Cleveland, and due to the team's merger with Minnesota, he would return to the team where he had his greatest glory. He would serve as the team’s Captain in what would be his final year in the NHL.
