Zayne Parekh will likely be a top 10 pick in this month's NHL Draft, but everyone wants to do their due diligence.

Parekh is an 18-year-old stud from Nobleton, Ontario who has spent the last two seasons with the OHL's Saginaw Spirit.

In 66 games during his most recent season, he scored 33 goals, dished out 63 assists and was named the league's Defender of the Year.

His on-ice talent speaks for itself, but at least one team is wondering what he's like off the ice.

Parekh revealed during a media session a strange question that was posed by a team.

Parekh said a team asked him what his Uber rating and Snapchat scores were.

“Those were the two [questions] that stood out,” Parekh said.

Its Uber rating is 4.92, just shy of a perfect five-star rating. However, he kept his Snapchat score to himself.

For non-Snappers reading this, a Snapchat score is essentially how active you are on the app.

According to Snapchat, the score is “determined by a super-secret special equation that combines the number of Snaps you've sent and received, the Stories you've posted, and a couple other factors.”

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

Macklin Celebrini is the projected first overall pick for the San Jose Sharks, but if Parekh's Uber rating is this high, it's a good sign of a positive character in the locker room, and some team should be very happy.
