“Madison isn't the kind of player that stands out immediately. The more you watch Madison play, you see she has an extremely high hockey intelligence that makes it possible for her to have a dramatic impact on the game. Pair her IQ with strong puck skills and a drive to succeed, and you are left with a player that is going to be a significant offensive threat for her team.”

- - Pandas head coach, Howie Draper

"Being able to play with Maddie and see what she can do on the ice was very special. Not only does she have an incredible skill set, but she has this poise about her that allows her to see plays that we couldn't even see on the bench. For me personally, I learned a lot from a player like Maddie this season. The Pandas joked that she could win championships in her sleep, because she has this sense of calm and confidence that spreads through the team in big games."

- - Fifth-year Pandas Forward, Alex Poznikoff
