NHL prospect says team asked him what his Uber rating, Snapchat scores were ahead of draft

Zayn Parekh is likely to be a top-10 selection in this month’s NHL Draft, but everyone wants to do their due diligence.

Parekh is an 18-year-old star player from Nobleton, Ontario who spent the past two seasons with the Saginaw Spirit of the OHL.

He scored 33 goals and had 63 assists in 66 games in the most recent season and was named the league’s Defenseman of the Year.

His talent on the ice goes without saying, but at least one team is asking what he’s like off it.

During a media session, Parekh revealed the odd question posed by the team.

Parekh said one team asked him how he rated Uber and how he scored Snapchat.

“It’s two [questions] That stood out.” Parekh says.

His rating on Uber is 4.92, just shy of a perfect five-star rating, but he kept his score on Snapchat secret.

For any non-Snappers reading this, your Snapchat score is basically how active you are on the app.

According to Snapchat, your score is determined by a “secret, special equation that combines the number of Snaps you send and receive, the Stories you post, and several other factors.”

Essentially, the higher the number, the more active you are on the app.

Macklin Celebrini is the projected No. 1 overall pick to the San Jose Sharks, but if Parekh’s Uber rating is that high, it’s a good sign of a positive personality in the locker room and some team should be very happy.
