Junior Review -- Maxwell Mathias

[Underclass_Hero 82]

THE PROLOGUE -- The Start of something special. 

 

                    Maxwell Mathias was born in a fairly common household in Louisville, Kentucky. As a child, Maxwell identified with sports at a young age. It was his collective love for Football, and Basketball alike that drew Maxwell into trying out for his local school teams. Unfortunately for Maxwell, it wasn't well received -- He was left without a passion after failing to land on either team. After failing, Maxwell would watch his cousin, Kai excel as he would flourish in his high school, before ultimately going Tuscon to play college ball. Kai would then be drafted, and subsequently forgetting about his younger cousin.  This left a sour taste in Maxwell's mouth due to not only his jealousy, but his desires to succeed as well. 

 

                    It wasn't until his junior year of high school that Maxwell would see an opportunity before his eyes. Oddly enough, it didn't come in the form of basketball or football, but instead Hockey. At first, Maxwell wasn't interested in such a thing. After all, he was just a kid from Kentucky. There were only a few things that really took precedent in his home state. Those being bourbon, horse racing, basketball, and football. All four of which had no interest in Maxwell, nor did Maxwell have a desire after failing once before. However, shifting back to hockey -- Maxwell found a unique calling card, realizing he had a natural gift of defending. Granted he wasn't even on a high school team, let alone a professional hockey team. It didn't stop him from at least trying to hone his craft. At every turn, Maxwell would prepare himself for competition. He had a desire to best his foes. To stand at the top of the crop. 

 

                    After following through with his newfound passion, Maxwell has decided to continue his love for hockey. Pursuing a shot at the VHL. He hasn't had much luck going before him, but deep down -- Maxwell knew what he brought to the table. He was more than understanding of the circumstances needed in order for him to succeed. He couldn't fail again. For him, this was ultimately his final chance. Maxwell didn't have a back plan. Not a major in mind. Maxwell was at the point of no return. You see, for this Kentucky native -- Maxwell longed for a chance to support himself, and his family. Feet don't fail him now. Maxwell looks forward to the draft process, and has mentally prepared himself for where this next chapter could take him.
