Terik Parascak, the Capitals' 2024 first-round pick, made his AHL debut with the Hershey Bears on April 19, marking a significant milestone in his young career at just 18 years and 326 days. He played on the third line and had power-play opportunities despite finishing the game a minus-one. His debut came at the end of a season where multiple players, including Ludwig Persson and Seth Eisele, also made their AHL debuts. Parascak had previously participated in an NHL training camp and a preseason debut before joining the Bears.
Parascakâs debut with Hershey Bears at 18 years old exemplifies his rapid progression, showcasing the Capitals' investment in young talent from junior leagues to pro level.
Every professional debut carries expectations, and for Parascak, being part of a high-stakes game against a rival team at such a young age is an exciting challenge.
