Francis Paré comes off the ice in Geneva with a smile on his face and asks for a few minutes before we can sit down to record the podcast. It is clear that he is happy with his life in Central Europe and that he has acclimated himself in the French-speaking region of Switzerland and in the team of Genève-Servette.
Francis speaks about growing up as a Montreal Canadiens fan, having been born in Lemoyne, a Shea Weber slapshot from the Bell Centre. Having gone undrafted, Paré speaks about a bit of disappointment, but also the chance he got from Mike Babcock and the Detroit Red Wings, and winning the Calder Cup in his last season.
