“Don Maxwell has been a selfless, tireless worker for all things athletic, for the the city of Calgary and the province of Alberta.” ~Rob Lederer
“Don would be a wonderful addition to the group of previous honourees; he is well-deserving of the stature as one of the ASAA athletic giants, upon whose shoulders we all stand.” ~Rob Lederer
“Through the progress made in provincial athletics and various challenges that caused the CSHSAA and ASAA to work closely together, Don and I became great friends. Don is a great leader who, in his quiet and unassuming way had the ability to impact school sport for the better. He commands great respect amongst his peers.” ~John Paton, Executive Director, ASAA~
