Before getting the chance to play for Boston, Parro was claimed by the Quebec Nordiques in the 1979 NHL Expansion Draft. Two days later, the Nordiques traded him to the Washington Capitals. After remaining in the Capitals\' organization until 1984, Parro spent several seasons in the International Hockey League before retiring.\n', '
