It seems like yesterday that the Antigonish Bulldogs wouldn't release his rights to play full-time in the QMJHL.
Here we are, 16 years later and he's officially retiring from hockey.
Also of note, while Pardy was in junior and was drafted by Calgary I made a bet (buy the other a beer) with a colleague of mine that Pardy would play a minimum of one game in the NHL.
Yep, Adam Pardy won me a beer. If only I got a beer per NHL game played.
