The electric forward has begun the year with 7 points in 5 games for the Regina Pat Canadians U18 team after putting up monstrous numbers last season in U15 for Regina Pat Blues. He;s continued where he left off last season and is showing that decision making and consistency. In my viewings this year he’s done well to build power through crossovers and adjust his secondary positioning very quickly. It allows him to follow up plays, find passing lanes, and continually adjust and adapt. As a mold of a player there are certainly shades of Riley Heidt and Berkly Catton here and maybe I’m being a bit energetic when I say I think he certainly is a little bit ahead of where both of them were at this point in their development. Maddox keeps his feet moving, knows when and how to protect the puck, and scored a lethal wrist shot on the PP in one of the games I watched. If we are talking about limiting factors then it comes in the length of his stride and his physical stature but that’s about it. He’s certainly already big enough to be high -level impactful and any more is icing on the cake. It’s tough not to gush over his intellect, adaptability, and consistency of impact both with and without the puck.
