Maxwell got himself on the radar at the University of North Dakota, where in his only year of playing with the Sioux, he was
named to the All-WCHA First Team and was Rookie of the Year, among other honors.
After being drafted, he played on the Canadian Olympic Team for the Lake Placid games, then joined the North Stars system
for the 80-81 season, playing most of the season in Oklahoma City of the CHL, but saw some games in their run for the Stanley
Cup.
Even after he joined the Rockies/Devils, he played most of his years in the minors. I would say that it was large in part due to
him being a small player that he wasn't able to land in the bigs fulltime. He did do quite well with the Mariners, though, with a
balanced points total and being part of the 84 Calder Cup winners, as well as the 88 winners while with the Hershey Bears.
From what I've read, sure, he was small, but he played big. Sound familiar, all you Brian Gionta fans?
After he retired in 1988, he stayed on with the Flyers as a pro scout, a position he held till 1991. Up until at least 2007, he
would also hold jobs in the scouting department for the Hartford Whalers, the New York Islanders, and the Dallas Stars.
