Playing career

Prior to turning professional with the Rochester Americans, Paris played major junior hockey in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.[2]

After splitting the 2011-12 season, between the Chicago Express of the ECHL and the Toronto Marlies of the AHL, Paris signed a one-year contract with European team, Düsseldorfer EG, of the DEL.[3]

On June 21, 2016, after a successful 2015–16 season in Sweden with Tingsryds AIF of the second tier HockeyAllsvenskan, Paris opted to remain in Sweden, signing with newly demoted Allsvenskan club, Modo Hockey on a one-year deal.[4]

After a spell with Dornbirner EC, Paris moved to the UK to sign for EIHL side Cardiff Devils in June 2017.[5]

Paris has since spent time with Swedish side Karlskrona HK and in Canada with Saint-Georges Cool FM 103.5.
