The following Question-and-Answer article with former
Princeton forward George Parros appeared December 20 on
the Anaheim Ducks Web site.

With the thick jet black mustache and the flowing hair, George
Parros hardly fits the image of a professional hockey player. For
that matter, he doesn't look much like a man with a finance degree
from Princeton either.
But Parros is both of those things, in addition to being one of the
more popular and recognizable players in Ducks history. Since
arriving in Anaheim via a trade with Colorado on Nov. 13 of last
season, the 27-year-old Parros was almost instantly a fan favorite.
And it's not just for his looks. As the Ducks' resident
heavyweight, the 6-5, 229-pounder dropped the gloves last year
almost as frequently as he touched the puck, compiling a
league-high 18 fighting majors. This season, while Parros is
finding fights harder to come by, he's played a more significant
role on Anaheim's fourth forward line.
Parros spent some time after a recent practice to talk about his
development as an enforcer, his roots in the game and just what the
deal is with that mustache.
