History
2002-03: The junior Player of the Year in Ontario Junior A. Represented Canada at the U18 tournament in Minsk Belarus and led the team in scoring.
2003-04: Led the Peterborough Petes in scoring in 2003-04 as a rookie and subsequently the Oilers drafted Reddox early in the 4th round at the draft and consider him to be their sleeper pick from that year.
2004-05: Again Led the Petes in scoring and took the team to the OHL semi-finals.
2005-06: Had a disappointing year statistically in 2005-06 thanks to a major role change from Petes coach Dick Todd. Helped Peterborough win the OHL title but the team floundered badly at the Memorial Cup.
2006-07: Spent the entire season with Stockton (ECHL) and had very pedestrian stats in terms of production until a burst of offence at the end of the year.
2007-08: A reborn Reddox that suddenly found a scoring touch that had left him two years earlier. Reddox went from ECHL regular to AHL standout in less than half a season. Ended the year by battling injury but still was regarded as a key performer for the Springfield Falcons. Enjoyed a brief one-game recall to the NHL early in the season.
Talent Analysis
Reddox has reinvented himself since turning pro. As a junior he was a scorer and a playmaker but as a professional he has taken on more of an agitator-that-can-produce role. He can get under the skin of the opposition with his hard work and chirpiness but has the ability to chip in offensively as well. Once quiet and introverted, Reddox is now more confident in his ability to play the game and has become a player the coach can be confident in putting on the ice in any situation.
Future
He’s probably no more than a fourth-line player in the NHL.
