Meet Your Minor Midget AAA Players - #55 Maddux Pepin
When selecting a hockey club, the Jr. Rangers Minor Midget AAA team not only look at the player on the ice but also the player as a member of our community and a role model to other Jr. Rangers players within the Kitchener Minor Hockey Association system. 

Each week we'll profile a member of the Kitchener Jr. Rangers Minor Midget AAA hockey club, so you'll get to know them a little more outside of their play on the ice.

This week we're proud to introduce #55 Maddux Pepin. 

Maddux is versatile left shot forward for the Kitchener Jr. Rangers Minor Midget AAA hockey club who can play any forward position asked.  Anyone who has watched Maddux play immediately notices his speed which he uses to create turnovers in all zones.  It is especially effective on the penalty kill.  His favourite pre-game meal is specific with steak, mashed potatoes and corn but he does say his mom makes a mean pasta.

Maddux learned to skate at the age of 3 and this is his first year as a AAA Jr. Ranger.  Maddux has 1 younger sister who is 14.  Maddux, known as ‘Pep’ around the team attends Resurrection high school and like many of his teammates he is part of the PEAT Program.  He says his best subject is Peat and Geography is one of his least favourites. 

Montreal Canadiens is Maddux’s favourite NHL team and Connor McDavid is his favourite player.  When not at the rink Maddux likes to workout. His music list has everything as he says when it comes to music he goes with the flow and doesn’t have anything he’d consider his favourite.   But when it comes to movies, he lists the Fast and The Furious collection as his favourite.  Fast cars and fast on the Ice show a definite connection between Pep and the movie.

Words that mean a lot to Maddux are, “hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.”  Those are great words to live by Pep!   Maddux lists his favourite hockey memory to date as winning the spring tournament King of the Rings on his Danglers team. 

Maddux is a tremendous young man who brings a strong work ethic every to the rink. We’re very proud and fortunate to have Maddux as such a role model and member of the Kitchener Jr. Rangers Minor Midget AAA program.
