Darrell Maxwell | Former Canadian Player

Darrell was a member of the Victoriaville Bruins hockey team which captured the Quebec provincial junior hockey league championship in 1965 and played with the likes of Philip Myre (Montreal Canadians-NHL), Alain Beaule (Quebec Nordiques-WHA) and many others who went onto professional hockey careers. In 1966, he captained the North River Aces of the competitive Truro and District Hockey League to the  Championship title. As well, he was voted MVP and won the regular season scoring title, that year. From ’68-’72, he was a valuable member of the St. Mary’s University (SMU) hockey team in Halifax, Nova Scotia coached by Bob Boucher, who described Maxwell as a strong two-way hockey player who was held in high esteem by his teammates. During his time at SMU, the Huskies won four consecutive Maritime championships but lost the national title to the powerful University of Toronto team, the last three years by very close margins.
