April 3, 2018 - Western Hockey League (WHL)
Regina Pats News Release


Calgary, Alta. - The Western Hockey League announced today that Regina Pats goaltender Max Paddock has been named the WHL Rookie of the Month for March 2018.

Paddock posts a 7-0-0-0 record, 2.49 goals-against-average, and a .910 save percentage as the Pats improved down the stretch to close out the regular season, clinching third place in the competitive East Division at the conclusion of the regular season.

Thrust into the starting role following an injury, Paddock picked up road victories against the playoff-bound Medicine Hat Tigers, and Lethbridge Hurricanes while also securing home victories against a pair of strong divisional opponents in the Prince Albert Raiders and Swift Current Broncos. He also picked up wins against the Calgary Hitmen, Edmonton Oil Kings, and Kootenay ICE throughout the month, allowing two goals or fewer in four of his eight appearances.

The perfect month also helped Paddock cap off what has been a career regular season for the goaltender, who has taken just two regulation defeats in the 2018 calendar year. Overall, Paddock finished with a 19-7-1-1 record, 2.90 GAA, and .904 SV% this season.
