FlamesNation Prospect Profiles: #7 Tyler Parsons

The Calgary Flames picked Tyler Parsons 54th overall in the 2016 entry draft.

At the time it seemed an odd choice. The club had picked Mason McDonald 34th overall just 12 months earlier and already had bluechip goaltending prospect Jon Gillies in the system. The organization seemed set when it came to hopefuls in the crease.

But things start to make more sense when you take a closer look at Parson's results. The best goalie in the OHL, Parsons helped backstop of the juggernaut London Knights to a Memorial Cup despite being relatively young.

A Brief History

The Chesterfield, Michigan native worked his way up through the US HPHL system as a young kid before jumping over to the OHL in 2014 as a 17-year-old.
