Owen Sound Attack General Manager Dale DeGray describes the Ridgeway, ON. native as a pure goal scorer. "When you think pro caliber shot and skating, you think Jarrod Maidens. This kid has all of the tools to be a premier offensive talent in this league and fans in Owen Sound should be very excited about watching this player."
