The left wing has been his home for the start of the season, but now he was gaining the confidence of his entire team. Perron lines up for his first face-off in his first true season professionally. After a disappointing end to last season with Yukon, he hopes for new purpose on his permanent VHLM residence. With a nod of confidence form his coach Perron gets into position. The puck is dropped and Perron muscles it back to his defense...

 

Starting Off Strong

After being picked up much later than he had anticipated, it was hard for Maxime Perron to not be a little disappointed. He had been drafted by an amazing organization, by a General Manager who was more than excited to have him on the squad, and was ready to utilize him as the scoring center that he was, but there was still a little piece of him that wished the draft had gone differently. Interviews with him were extremely professional. He answered all questions diligently, and made it known that he was "so blessed to have gone to a franchise like Brampton". But everyone in the room could tell that he had a fire burning inside him. A fire that made him want to prove all other GMs wrong.

 

Practice was the first opportunity for Perron to show his team that he belonged, and that he was ready to take over. He was out there, and he was working hard. Coaches and players were impressed by his drive to succeed, and the draft had done nothing but humble to young Frenchman into knowing that he did need more work on his game. Now he wanted to be given that opportunity to show that growth.

 

Perron has started the season on the wing, as the team wants him to learn to get more responsible in the faceoffs during practice, and when he does that he will be put into game situations. From this role, alongside Tuzis and Willicox, Perron has flourished and shown what more playing time will get him. In Yukon last season, Perron was often stapled to the bench, playing 11 minutes a night, and he voiced his frustration with his GM often. However now he was being gifted over 20 minutes a night and was making the most of it with a strong Brampton team. In his first eight games in Brampton, he posted 13 points. Tallying 6 goals and 7 assists, and enough points for fourth in team scoring, Perron has shown why he was so touted when leaving Harvard. His ability in the north-south style of play has shone through, and his great linemates have done nothing but enhance his play. His potential is endless, and he has made it his focus to make sure that what happened in the Season 43 VHLM Draft never happens to him again. The fall to 17th overall was a scare he does not feel inclined to relive.

 

While the season is just getting started, he can feel himself gaining more experience, and Perron is convinced that he will only get better as the season progresses. Look for him to be a big name going into the Season 44 VHL draft, as scouts are starting to take notice of his big frame, and blisteringly fast release.
