Brad Maxwell of the New Westminster Bruins won the Memorial Cup.Defenceman Brad Maxwell, whose 691-game NHL career included an all-star game selection with the Minnesota North Stars and one season with the Maple Leafs, died during the weekend at age 66.
Maxwell, best remembered as a first-round pick of Minnesota, was suffering from an aggressive form of lung cancer. A ‘Go Fund Me’ campaign had been started by his family this summer as the costs of his treatment had exceeded insurance. Former teammates such as Brian Bellows were contributing. Maxwell, born in Brandon, Man., had 238 points in three seasons with the WHL’s New Westminster Bruins when picked seventh overall by the Stars in the 1977 draft, 12In the midst of the playmaking blueliner’s seventh season in Bloomington, a stint which included a career high 73 points in 1983-84 and an appearance in the all-star game, he was traded to Quebec and then a year later to the Leafs for sniper John Anderson.
With Toronto, he had 26 points in 56 games and served as alternate team captain to Rick Vaive. He was dealt to Vancouver for a draft pick, was briefly a New York Ranger and ended back in Minnesota the same season, telling friends that last deal was the result of Stars GM Lou Nanne beating New York’s Phil Esposito in a card game. Maxwell ended with 368 regular season points and 1,292 penalty minutes.
Maxwell represented Canada in three world hockey championships. Settling down in Minnesota, he started a renovation/construction company and later headed up the Stars’ alumni association.
