He earned player of the game for one of those contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Max is a big, strong, and powerful skater who brings a wide range of tools to the ice. He consistently uses his size to his advantage through physical play, strong puck protection, and a willingness to drive the net. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He plays with a high level of intensity and a strong work ethic, making him difficult to contain. In addition to his size and strength, Max possesses good skill and a hard, accurate shot, adding to his offensive effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He is a complete, reliable 200-foot player who can be a difference-maker every shift. Strong defensively and effective in all zones, Max impacts the game in multiple ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Max is regarded as the top prospect for the upcoming draft out of Nova Scotia and projects as a player who can contribute in all situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Taylor Burke, CSR Scout Nova Scotia<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ADVERTISEMENT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><div id=\"metaslider-id-56506\" style=\"max-width: 600px; margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-108-0 metaslider metaslider-flex metaslider-56506 ml-slider ms-theme-default-base nav-hidden nav-hidden nav-hidden\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Mini Header 2\" data-height=\"200\" data-width=\"600\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_56506\">\n        <div id=\"metaslider_56506\">\n            <ul class='slides'>\n                <li style=\"display: block; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-63688 ms-image \" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" data-date=\"2026-04-08 10:35:32\" data-filename=\"Creative-Minds-Ad-780-x-2501-e1775655291224-600x200.png\" data-slide-type=\"image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100090386733545\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"View Slide Details\" class=\"metaslider_image_link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging-z.thelaker.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Creative-Minds-Ad-780-x-2501-e1775655291224-600x200.png\" height=\"200\" width=\"600\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-56506 slide-63688 msDefaultImage\" title=\"Creative Minds Ad 780 x 250(1)\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-56517 ms-image \" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" data-date=\"2025-07-06 10:19:19\" data-filename=\"steve-mac-new-ad-laker-600x200.jpg\" data-slide-type=\"image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefinancialengineer.ca\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"View Slide Details\" class=\"metaslider_image_link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging-z.thelaker.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/steve-mac-new-ad-laker-600x200.jpg\" height=\"200\" width=\"600\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-56506 slide-56517 msDefaultImage\" title=\"steve-mac-new-ad-laker\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-62054 ms-image \" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" data-date=\"2026-01-31 20:53:23\" data-filename=\"The-breath-Factory-600x200-1.png\" data-slide-type=\"image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebreathfactory.ca\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"View Slide Details\" class=\"metaslider_image_link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging-z.thelaker.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/The-breath-Factory-600x200-1.png\" height=\"200\" width=\"600\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-56506 slide-62054 msDefaultImage\" title=\"The breath Factory 600x200\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Defenceman Liam Duffy, who also suited up with the Steele Subaru, is ranked next and stands at five-foot-11, 177 pounds. He is a right hand shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He made the NSU18 Rookie All Star team after a season that saw him play 33 games and record 26 assists and 27 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the playoffs, Duffy recorded seven helpers in nine games played. He had no points in four games at the QMJHL Cup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Liam is a big-bodied defenseman who moves well for his size. He doesn\u2019t hesitate to join the rush or get involved in the play offensively. He plays smart and has a good feel on when to take chances in the offensive zone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Defensively, he has a good stick and can use his body to his advantage. He makes a good first pass and is always looking to try and make quick plays to keep the play moving forward. All in all, he has a great skill set that many teams look for at the next level.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Taylor P.

A right-handed defenseman, he is very well built and an excellent skater, combining power, speed, and agility. He is a tough defenseman to get around and difficult to play against.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tillman has an excellent shot, which he releases with both power and accuracy. In fact, it\u2019s a shot we\u2019d like to see him use more often. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The young defenseman plays with confidence and exudes a certain presence when on the ice. With his style and maturity, he will undoubtedly be a closely watched defenseman for the upcoming draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Pierre Cholette, CSR Director<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><div id=\"metaslider-id-56191\" style=\"width: 100%;
