Get to know your Maulers

Player #16: Max Rebholz

(Credit to Missoula Maulers)

Welcome back to another Meet your Maulers! Let me introduce you to forward #8 Max Rebholz! Max is 5 ft 11 in, 185 lbs, is from Pewaukee, Wisconsin, USA, and is a '94. I am not sure where he played for the 2012-2013 season but for the 2011-2012 season, it appears he played for the Milwaukee Jr Admirals. In the 2011-2012 season he had 7 goals in 37 games played, 4 assists, 11 TPs, 1 power play goal, 0 short handed goals, and 6 PIMs. I am very excited that Max is on the team this year because he is a quick skater and a sharp and accurate shooter. He isn't afraid to stand up for his team or his team mates. He is a tough player to be up against and stands his ground every time he goes out on the ice. In my personal opinion, I think that he will be one of the best offensive forces on the team this year because of his attitude towards the sport and the determination to play every game like it's the most important one of his life. He had phenomenal start to the season and lets hope he stays that way!  I had the great pleasure of interviewing Max recently and I hope you guys enjoy "meeting" him! With any further delays here is Max!

1. Why did you decide to join the Maulers this year?

MR: I heard it was a good way to meet girls haha, but I love playing hockey and with the Maulers there's a good potential to further myself in hockey

2. What skills on and off the ice do you expect to bring to the team this season?

MR: On the ice I bring a strong work ethic and I always try to develop a scoring chance every shift. Off the ice, I don't really know I'm always for the boys so whatever I can do to make us better

3. Favorite NHL team and player?

MR: My favorite team is the Ottawa Senators. My favorite player is Zach Parise

4. What is your favorite pregame meal?

MR: Any kind of pasta

5. What do you enjoy to do when you are not playing hockey?

MR: Anything outdoors really. I like to ski, fish, and golf. Missoula is really great with opening up the people to a lot of outdoor possibilities and I hope to take advantage of as many as possible

6. Greatest chirp you have said or been told?

MR: It's not really a chirp, but I've seen a kid score a goal and drink out of the goalie's water bottle on the net. I definitely wanna try that out sometime

7. Do you prefer the hockey scene back in Wisconsin or in Missoula and why?

MR: In Wisconsin you get the chance to go to NHL games like we went to a couple Blackhawk games and Wild games, and then the Wisconsin Badger hockey games are fun too. The hockey scene here though is really taking off and I think the Maulers have had a big influence on the growing scene so I'm grateful to be a piece of the uprising

8. Best hockey memory?

MR: Taking fifth in the National Championship in 2012. It was an incredible ride our team had as most people thought we would not win state

9. Worst travel experience?

MR: Haha man there's a lot I'm thinking of. I thought this was awesome, it was our team's first game of the year in Minnesota and it was 3 AM and there was a wedding after party going on in the hotel room next to ours. It was me, my dad, my friend, and his dad who worked a prison or something. Long story short, they were being way too loud and the hotel wasn't doing anything about it, so my dad and my friend's dad went over there to quiet things up, we got kicked out of the hotel and slept in the parking lot of the rink that night

10. Best dressed?

MR: I mean I think I clean up real nice when I want to, but I guess Henrik has some style

11. Worst rink you have ever played in?

MR: No questions asked, the home rink of the Colorado Thunderbirds is brutal. They play at an old aircraft carrier center or something, which sounds cool but the locker rooms had a piece of plywood for the door and no showers

12. Where do you see yourself in hockey in the next 5 years?

MR: I don't know I'm just gonna let it come to me

13. Best travel partner?

MR: So far Billy Bigham

14. Xavier LaFlamme, Hanson Brothers, or Jack O'Callahan?

MR: Hanson Brothers no doubt

15. Which NHL player would you want to go 1 on 1 with?

MR: Crosby, I'd like to take down Crosby

16. What player best embodies the junior hockey lifestyle?

MR: Schafes or Nally

17. Is there anything you would like to tell the fans?

MR: Fear not bring your kids!

18. Which NHL player would you compare yourself to?

MR: I try to resemble Zach Parise, he always makes the right play and has a work ethic like non other

19. If you had to be stuck on a desert island with anyone in the world and anyone on the team who would it be?

MR: Kate Upton, then maybe like Manning or Z who can actually catch fish haha

Max is a great addition to the team and I can see him being a big asset to the team this season! It was a great pleasure to get to chat with Max and to get to know him a little bit as well as you all will. Good luck Max this season and thank you for the interview!
