Last night, Michael Hage had three assists in a win over Ohio State, already surpassing his point total from last season.

The Montreal Canadiens' top prospect is progressing very well and is on track to turn pro with a wealth of potential.

We also saw this tremendous potential at the World Junior Championship, where Hage finished as the tournament's leading scorer with 15 points in seven games.

Hage impressed many people, including his teammates.

In fact, Zayne Parekh, a longtime friend of Hage's, took the time to praise his Team Canada Junior teammate in a recent interview.

Parekh praised Hage not only for his tournament performance, but also for his overall talent since the beginning of his career.

The Calgary Flames prospect even took the time to say that Michael Hage was much more talented than he was.

That's what Parekh explained in an interview with Marco D'Amico of RG Media.

Let's just say that's a very nice compliment coming from a defenseman of Parekh's caliber, with so much talent and potential.

The Flames prospect had 13 points, including five goals, in seven games at the WJC, and he also had 107 points, including 33 goals, in 61 games in his final OHL season with the Saginaw Spirit.

So, for Parekh to go out of his way to say that Hage is an absolutely incredible player who is much more talented than him says a lot.

Obviously, he wasn't going to put him down, given that they are good friends and teammates, but the fact remains that Parekh didn't have to go that far in his praise.

Parekh also said that Hage has a very fast game, executing everything efficiently and quickly.

In short, it's a nice compliment that Parekh gave Hage, and it makes us all even more excited about Hage's upcoming arrival in Montreal.
