Maddox Merkley

Maddox was an imposing physical presence on the back end, delivering several heavy hits and making life difficult for opponents in the corners and around his crease. Played with a mean streak, showing a willingness to engage in scrums and aggressively defend his net front. Kept his puck decisions simple and effective, though his puck skills remain somewhat limited. A decent skater for his size who brought a rugged, hard-nosed element to the game.
