                      Marshall Maxx: Born in the Wild

       (A drawn representation of his time in Nunavut)

 

           Marshall Maxx was born in Toronto, his mother and father both rich and busy entrepreneurs in the big city. As a kid, he would watch hockey games religiously, dreaming of destroying opposing players and standing at the top of the hockey world in the future. Unfortunately, Maxx was constantly on the move as a result of his family's constant travels, and he was never able to reach towards the dreams of his childhood and play youth hockey. This all changed, however, when he crashed his father's plane flying over the arctic regions of Nunavut at age 13, and the young boy was forced to survive amongst the bears in the chilling and dangerous Nunavut wilderness. 

 

           Maxx recounts his time in the wilderness, laughing about the time and explaining: "Yeah, it was certainly an experience. As a kid I was weak and irresponsible, but living in the arctic changed me. It gave me a chance to grow, to live, and to experience what true life is all about." In our interview, Maxx gave tens of stories about his escapes from life endangering scenarios, terrifying encounters with polar bears, and moments where he was inches away from death, but much is still unknown about the time he spent in the wild. 

 

           After three years, a helicopter flying over his hand built log cabin found Maxx wrestling a polar bear in the wild with a grin on his face, no longer resembling the young boy that had been there years earlier. During his time in Nunavut, Maxx had grown from about 5'6 to 6'4", and had gone from only 120 lbs to 200 lbs of pure muscle. Maxx was flown back into his parent's home in Toronto, where he was reunited with his family and forced to reassimilate into society. 

 

           He described this period as "The toughest in my life". After his long term in the arctic, there was so much that had changed in the world around him, and so much for him to get used to once again. The only place where he could let out his stress was the hockey rink. He began playing hockey under the recommendation of local hockey coach and family friend Brian Wist, and began his hockey journey as a junior in high school. Now, just a year and a half later, Maxx has become well known across the hockey world for his massive hits and impressive defensive skills and has gone to Nova Scotia to join the Halifax 21st and start his professional hockey career. According to various high school scouts, Maxx has made "unprecedented" development in the one year of hockey he has played, and is someone to look for in the coming years.

 

           Maxx warns players in the VHL to "watch out", and I can't disagree with him. Maxx has grown to a scary 6'6 and 235 lbs and shows athleticism unlike any others at his size. When I asked his high school and now personal coach Brian Wist about his future career, he commented "There's not too many people on earth that wouldn't be scared to fight a bear, and Marshall is one of them, all I'm gonna say is that humans aren't as scary as bears, they just aren't."
