WAXERS SPLIT WEEKEND GAMES, BIG TRADE FOLLOWS LOSS TO VIPERS
Markham Waxers' head coach Russ Herrington cannot figure it out. For some reason he can't fathom why his club could play well in a hard-fought 3-2 overtime win over the Oshawa Legionaires at Centennial Arena Friday and then do the opposite the following day in a 6-3 road loss to the Vaughan Vipers.

WAXERS DEAL WITH THE TIGERS LANDS MARKHAM A PAIR OF "DUCES" 
The Markham Waxers are excited to announce that Adam Doucette and Derek Doucette have been acquired from the Aurora Tigers. [story].

NOVEMBER ENDS MERCIFULLY FOR THE WAXERS
Saturday night the Waxers dropped their fifth game of the month, this time in Vaughan by a 6-3 score. After a promising start the Waxers suffered through a miserable November that saw them exit the month with a less than spectacular 4-5 record. Enough is enough, the Waxers will re-emerge as a force in the South Division through a combination of hard work, sound game plans conceived by the coaching staff and expert management, very adept in dealing with matters concerning player personnel.

FRANEY WINS AND MITCHELL'S OT MARKER SENDS THE WAXERS HOME VICTORS TOO
Friday night, a very special night, featuring appearances by numerous celebrities saw the Markham community generously support the special drive to raise funds in support of Joshua Franey. Then there was a hockey game and what a game it was. An action filled affair that featured a Waxer domination that wasn't reflected on the scoreboard and to the credit of the boys in blue and white they never quit and finally prevailed with a 3-2 overtime decision. Bobby Fitkin, Jason Young and Mark Mitchell supplied the scoring. In addition to his OT winnner, Mitchell assisted on the other goals and Kevin Tompkins was a force everytime on the ice and was rewarded with a three point night as well. Paul Guthrie turned aside 30 of 32 shots to earn the victory in net. Saturday evening the Waxers travel to Vaughan to take on the Vipers. [recap]

MINOR SLUMP NO CAUSE TO PANIC
Losing games on Friday to the St. Michael's Buzzers 2-1 and to the host Wexford Raiders 4-2 on Sunday, the Markham Waxers are in a bit of a funk. For the record, the Waxers have lost three in a row and four of their last five. [article]

NOVEMBER BLUES CONTINUE TO DRAG WAXERS DOWN
Sunday night, in a battle for first place in the South Division, the Waxers were dealt a 4-2 defeat by the Wexford Raiders. The defeat drops the Waxers record for the month to a disappointing 3-4, not at all reflective of the level that the Markham club should be playing at. This week the Waxers will regroup and look to turn things around starting Friday night when they host the Oshawa Legionaires on a very special night (Joshua Franey - Meet the Olympians night).

HOT NETMINDER DEALS THE WAXERS A DEFEAT
St. Michaels Buzzers rode a first period 2-0 lead all the way home to take a 2-1 decision from the host Waxers Friday night. The Waxers outshot the Buzzers 51-34 but a combination of cold hands and a red hot goalkeeper allowed the Buzzers to steal a win. Dan Leclair was outstanding in net for the Waxers, particularly in the second and third periods to give Markham a chance to win. Next stop is Sunday night for the Waxers when they travel to Wexford.

WAXERS COACH DISAPPOINTED
Disappointing. That's the word that Markham Waxers head coach Russ Herrington used to describe his Provincial Junior A Hockey League club's performance in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Ajax Axemen at Centennial Arena. [article]

WAXERS START WITH A FURY, THEN COAST AND TURN TO BURNT TOAST 
Friday night's rematch with the Axemen was game of contrasts like none other this year. After dominating the opening twenty minutes and leading 2-0 the Waxers hit the snooze button and fell behind 4-3 after two. An exchange of goals kept the Waxers down by one before an empty net marker with almost no time left concluded the scoring. [recap]

WAXERS GIVE ANOTHER FIRST PLACE EFFORT
Call it another first-place effort by a first-place club.

[article]

WAXERS TAKE ROUND ONE, 3-2 OVER AXEMEN

BATTLE FOR FIRST LEAVES WAXERS ALONE ON TOP 
After a scoreless first period the Waxers opened up with three goals and then swapped a pair with with the second place Rattlers in the final period. Paul Guthrie single handedly was responsible for allowing the Waxers a chance to win with several outstanding stops, many in the opening frame. Waxer goals came from Bobby Fitkin (2), Kevin Cribari, Jesse Boucher and Jason Fraccaro. The shorthanded Waxers took game one of a tough three game weekend despite missing the services of several key players. [recap]
