Playing career

Parent played for the Niagara Falls Flyers

----The Niagara Falls Flyers were two junior ice hockey franchises that played in the top tier in the Ontario Hockey Association. The first, a Junior "A" team existed from 1960 until 1972, and the second in Tier I Junior "A" from 1976 until 1982....

Over the next two seasons, with Favell performing inconsistently or injured, Parent became the Flyers' #1 goalie and appeared in 58 and 62 games for the Flyers.

On February 1, 1971, looking for help up front to improve the club's offence, the Flyers dealt Parent to the Toronto Maple Leafs

. The trade turned out to be a stroke of great fortune for the Flyers.

The Flyers received Mike Walton

 and a 1st-round pick from Toronto, along with goalie Bruce Gamble. Immediately, the Flyers flipped Walton to the Bruins for Rick MacLeish, who helped the Flyers to win two Stanley Cups in 1974 and 1975. The Flyers used the 1st-round pick to select winger Pierre Plante, who was trade to St. Louis in December 1972 for defense man Andre "Moose" DuPont—who, like MacLeish, was a key peformer on the Flyers' two Cup winners.

And just two years after trading Parent, the Flyers re-acquired him (as discussed below) at the start of the 1974 season. He, along with Bob Clarke, keyed the team's two-year championship run.

After joining Toronto, Parent joined his boyhood hero, Jacques Plante

, who at 42 was having an all-star season. Under Plante's tutelage, Parent became a more consistent and technically proficient goalie. Parent played well for the Leafs through the 1971–72 season, gaining valuable regular season and playoff experience.

Without a contract with the Leafs in the summer of 1972, Parent signed a large contract with the Miami Screaming Eagles

. He was the first player to 'jump' to the WHA. Parent faced a barrage of shots in 63 regular season games for the Blazers in the defensively weak league. After leaving the team over a contract dispute during the 1973 WHA playoffs, he sought a return to the NHL but did not wish to return to the Leafs. Toronto traded Parent's NHL rights back to the Flyers for Favell and a first round pick in that summer's (1973) amateur draft.

The next two seasons were the greatest of his career. Playing 73 games in a 78 game schedule, Parent sparkled in leading the league with a 1.89 GAA and 12 shutouts. He shared the Vezina Trophy

 Championships. The following year, he won another Vezina Trophy, a second Conn Smythe Trophy and the Stanley Cup. "Only the Lord saves more than Bernie Parent" became a catch-phrase and bumper sticker in Philadelphia in those years.

Following the championship seasons, Parent was sidelined by injury and appeared in only 11 games in 1975–76. Over the next three seasons, he experienced difficulties at times. Plante, although in retirement, continued to have a strong influence on Parent's career. Parent, like Plante, was a stand-up type goalie. At one point Parent was playing poorly and considering retirement. Plante watched him practice in Philadelphia for two days, then told Parent exactly what he was doing wrong: sitting back on his heels, backing into his crease and losing concentration. Parent heeded Plante's advice and returned to form.

In February 1979, Parent suffered a career-ending eye injury in a game against the New York Rangers

, causing permanent damage to his vision. This incident caused many NHL goalies to switch from fibreglass facemasks toward the cage and helmet style, and resulted in many amateur and junior leagues banning fibreglass masks altogether, mandating the helmet/cage combo.

Post-career
