This seems to be a common historical point of discussion – but incorrect – while it’s true that Zach Parise and Travis Zajac both played their collegiate hockey for the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux – Parise and Zajac never played together. It never happened; this could be cleared up by doing a simple search on Google. So it would be impossible for them to have developed chemistry at UND. Parise was a member of the Fighting Sioux hockey team from 2002-04, Zajac arrived at UND in the fall of 2004 and played two season at UND as well, 2004-2006.
Larry Wigge --- Travis Zajac and Zach Parise go together like two peas in a pod.
They are center and winger, both from the University of North Dakota. Both worked well together there, so why not in the NHL. They feed off one another.
Zajac is the straw that stirs the drink and prefers to stay in the background to Parise's star status.
The secret is out, Zajac is a star too.
For much of the 2011-12 season, Zajac was a lost man ... a player without a team.
