JumpierPegasus 52 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Maxime Perron - Intelligence Above All Else -------- Despite growing up in a country whose hockey program is next to none, Maxime Perron has shown top level ability from a young age. Son of Canadian born, Quebecois parents, the love of hockey was instilled in him from a very young age by his father. From the very start Perron showed that he had the ability to be a dominate force in the game of hockey. Not only did Perron display an ability in the game of hockey, but also posted the countries best score on the French "Baccalauréat" -- also known as "le bac" -- proving him to be one of the most intelligent young people in the country. This led to him receiving full-ride scholarship offers from some of the most prestigious universities in France. However, none of these schools appealed to him, and he decided he wanted to go to a school that he had dreamed of attending all his life in the Northeastern United States. Harvard. The school offered Perron a scholarship for a lower value than many of the schools in France, but he accepted immediately knowing that not only would Harvard give him a top tier education, but the school was outfitted with a hockey program. As soon as Perron moved over to the United States at the age of 18, he was placed on the Harvard roster. In his freshman season Perron would post respectable numbers, getting 15 points in 30 games from the 3rd line. In his sophomore season he was offered the assistant captaincy on the Crimson's roster, which he accepted along with a promotion to the 2nd line. After 25 points in 38 games and a spot on the Dean's list with a 4.0GPA, teams started to take notice of the young, budding star. His junior season at the age of 20 showed off his goal scoring prowess, and his ability to use his speed to get breakaways and pick any open spot in the net to blow one by the goaltender. He scored 23 goals in 38 games, adding on 12 assists for 35 points. His senior season was a breakout year for the French born sniper, where he was offered the captaincy by Harvard. As he finished up his studies in accounting, he posted 30 goals in 33 games along with 15 assists for 45 points, which would put him atop the leaderboard in the ECAC. After graduating with honors, Perron stated his intention to join the Victory Hockey League, by announcing he was entering the Season 43 draft. -------- 18 - Harvard (NCAA) 30GP 9G 6A 15P 19 - Harvard (NCAA) 38GP 16G 9A 25P 20 - Harvard (NCAA) 38GP 23G 12A 35P 21 - Harvard (NCAA) 33GP 30G 15A 45P -------- Soon, Perron will add VHLM totals to that list, and hopes that one day he will be dominating the VHL like he dominated the NCAA. Only time will tell if this kid will become a hockey star, or step away from the game, and use his education. Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
