Francis Paré (born June 30, 1987) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward who is currently playing under contract with HC Dinamo Minsk of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).

Playing career

Undrafted, Paré previously played with the Grand Rapids Griffins in the American Hockey League (AHL). On July 27, 2011, Pare signed a two-year, two-way contract extension with the Griffins NHL affiliate, the Detroit Red Wings.[1]

On July 8, 2013, after helping the Griffins capture the Calder Cup, Paré was signed to a two-year contract abroad in Finland with TPS of the SM-liiga.[2] In the following years, Paré played for different teams in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), including Metallurg Magnitogorsk, Traktor Chelyabinsk and HC Slovan Bratislava. In 2014, he won the Gagarin Cup with Magnitogorsk. After returning to TPS for a second stint during the 2015–16 season, he again inked a deal with a KHL side, agreeing terms with Medvescak Zagreb in June 2016.[3]

On January 23, 2017, Paré left the KHL and signed a contract with Swiss club, Geneve-Servette HC of the National League A (NLA) for the remainder of the season. He appeared in 8 regular season games, making an instant impact with 11 points.

As a free agent in the off-season, Paré opted to return to the KHL, agreeing to an initial one-year contract for the 2017–18 season with Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg on March 24, 2017.[4]

Paré had two productive seasons in Yekaterinburg before leaving as a free agent to sign a one-year contract with fellow KHL club, HC Dinamo Minsk, on June 22, 2019.[5]
