Player Profile: Max Maksimyadis, New York Raptors

Have you ever seen a goalie win a game without using a stick?  If not, you've never seen Max Maksimyadis play.  Max plays for the New York Raptors and can't hold a stick or put a blocker on his right hand.  So he tapes the blocker to his right arm and plays fine -- or, more accurately, well enough to be one of the best goalies in the American Special Hockey Association.  In 2008, Max was named the USA Disabled Hockey Athlete of the Year.  Read "Maksimyadis Stands Tall On and Off the Ice."
