Xavier Parent's story
At just 16, Xavier Parent was already making his mark in major junior hockey after being selected fourth overall in the 2017 QMJHL draft by the Halifax Mooseheads. He posted 63 points across 130 games in his first two seasons with Halifax before a summer 2019 trade sent him to the Sherbrooke Phoenix in exchange for defenceman Cameron Whynot and a 2021 third‑round pick. Hailing from Laval, Parent showed early signs of offensive instinct and playmaking ability.
The next phase of his junior career was disrupted by the COVID‑19 pandemic and a back injury, and he went unselected in his NHL draft years. Returning to Sherbrooke as an overage player in 2021–22, he was named captain and delivered a breakout campaign: 51 goals and 106 points in 65 games, the fourth‑highest point total in the league. He added 22 points in 11 playoff games and earned a spot on the QMJHL’s second all‑star team.
Although he had committed to the Université du Québec à Trois‑Rivières, Parent opted to turn pro, signing a two‑year, one‑way deal with the Utica Comets of the AHL. His professional debut came with Utica’s ECHL affiliate, the Adirondack Thunder, where he scored 51 points in 50 games during the 2022–23 season. In 2023–24, his first full AHL season, Parent registered 15 goals and 45 points in 71 games, including his first AHL hat trick against his hometown Laval Rocket.
The Comets re‑signed him for 2024–25; he finished that season with 17 goals and 53 points in 61 games. On 14 March 2025, the New Jersey Devils signed Parent to a one‑year entry‑level contract for 2025–26, his first NHL deal. After beginning the season in Utica, he was recalled following Timo Meier’s personal leave and made his NHL debut on 11 December 2025 in an 8–4 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Internationally at the junior level, Parent led Canada Red at the 2017 World U‑17 Hockey Challenge with seven points (four goals) in six games to help claim silver, and helped Canada win gold at the 2018 Hlinka Gretzky Cup with two goals and three points in five games. His game is defined by goal scoring and playmaking, and by the leadership responsibilities he assumed in Sherbrooke.
