Paxton is Canadian by birth. We call him Big Maple because he's a pretty big guy, over 6' around 220 or so. Also, he has a large tatoo on his forearm of a maple leaf with a scene from a vacation cabin he loves from his childhood superimposed.

So getting his first no-no in Canada was a pretty big deal for him.
