Playing career

Born in Montreal, Quebec, Parent began his junior career in the Western Hockey League (WHL) as the goalie of the Spokane Chiefs. After one year with the Chiefs, Parent turned professional when he joined the Muskegon Fury of the Colonial Hockey League (CoHL). During the 1995–96 season, Parent was a CoHL first team All-Star, named the CoHL Most Outstanding Goalie, and also played 19 games with the Detroit Vipers of the International Hockey League and 2 games with the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League. The following season Parent played full-time with the Vipers and led them to a Turner Cup victory. The St. Louis Blues signed Parent to a contract following the season and Parent made his debut in the NHL, playing for 12 minutes in a game for the Blues.

For the 1998–99 season Parent split the year between the Blues and the Worcester IceCats, the Blues' minor league affiliate. During the season, he was injured by a slapshot by teammate Al MacInnis and was diagnosed with a ruptured testicle. Midway through 1999–2000 season Parent was traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he played in a career-high 14 games for the Lightning. The 2000–01 season saw Parent sign as a free agent with the Pittsburgh Penguins. He played 7 games with the Penguins, but played the majority of the season for their affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

In July 2001 Parent signed on to play in Germany, playing for Iserlohn, Kassel, Berlin and Hannover before retiring in 2006.
