In most instances claiming three of a possible four points would be deemed a satisfactory accomplishment for any hockey team. But in the case of the Markham Waxers, earning three points after playing two Provincial Junior A Hockey League contests last Friday and Monday, wasnąt acceptable. [article]

WAXERS RECOVER IN DYING MOMENTS TO SALVAGE POINT AFTER LOSING LEAD EARLIER IN CONTEST
The Vipers hosted the Waxers for the first half of a home-and-home series on Monday night (re-match is at Markham on Friday) and Vaughan worked hard to erase an early deficit before losing the lead themselves in the final minute of play. The Vipers scored in overtime to get the extra point with their 6-5 win. [recap]

MARKHAM ROLLS OVER THE HURRICANES
Markham returned home after a hard-fought win in Collingwood to face the Newmarket Hurricanes and it didn't take long before the Newmarket squad probably thought they were victims of a storm as the Waxers opened the scoring at the 14-second mark and never looked back en route to a 7-1 win. Mark Menonte led the well-balanced Markham attack with a four-point night. Next up for the Waxers is the opening round of a set of two back-to-back games with the Vipers starting Monday evening at Vaughan. [recap]

CRIBS GIVES COLLINGWOOD THE BLUES
The Waxers concluded their two-game mini-series with the Collingwood Blues with a well deserved 4-2 victory. Markham's attack ran into a hot tender who single handedly kept the contest close, Kevin Cribari led the attack with two goals and chipped in with an assist. Next up are the Newmarket Hurricanes who make their first visit of the year to Markham Friday night. [recap]

Ben Cottreau acknowledged he was not happy with the way he was performing as a member of the Markham Waxers during the early segment of the Provincial Junior A Hockey League schedule. But in recent days, the 17-year-old Toronto native is a lot happier with his efforts on the ice. [article]

COTTREAU HAT TRICK POWERS MARKHAM PAST RAIDERS
Markham and Wexford faced off for the second time this year, and first in Scarborough, and the Waxers avenged their earlier loss with a 7-3 victory.  Ben Cottreau led the way with a hat trick and the Waxers scored 6 goals in the final 20 minutes en route to the win. [recap]

WHEN A WIN IS A WIN
Markham and Ajax faced for the first time this season and the Waxers delivered less than a spectacular performance but did enough to win by a 5-2 count. An exciting mix of fast end-to-end hockey for stretches early in the contest deteriorated into a sloppy, lackluster contest. [recap]

Waxers head coach Russ Herrington got to know a bit more about what type of character his Provincial Junior A Hockey League team possessed after they took to the ice for a pair of games last weekend. Some aspects did not appeal to Herrington and some he found encouraging. [article]

SHORTHANDED WAXERS TIE UP THE COUCH
Markham, playing with 12 regulars and 4 call-ups, put in an inspired effort Sunday afternoon to earn a 2-2 tie with Couchiching.  Connor Treacy (from the Waxers Midgets) and Juaquin Chavira scored the Waxer goals.  [recap]

WAXERS SERVE UP AN EARLY TURKEY
Long time rivals Stouffville and Markham faced off for the first of only two meetings this year at Markham Centennial and the outcome was a humiliating 5-2 loss to the visitors. Liam Bowen and Mark Menonte provided the Waxer goals on a night that they'd best forget before facing Couchiching on Sunday. [recap]

When Markham Waxers right winger Nathaniel Brooks took to the ice for last Friday's Provincial Junior A Hockey League game against the Oshawa Legionaires he decided to loosen his hold of the stick. The move paid big dividends for the 16-year-old Markham resident as he notched not only his first junior A goal, but his second and third of the night to help the Waxers double the count on the Legionaires 8-4 at Centennial Arena. [article]

WAXERS COMPLETE WEEKEND SWEEP WITH SUNDAY WIN
Hosting the Collingwood Blues for the only time this season, the Waxers made no mistake in grabbing the two points behind a 6-3 score.  Jamie Wright had 2 goals and Kevin Sit provided strong goaltending to spur the Waxers on to a complete 2-for-2 home weekend. [recap]

WAXERS TURN AWAY OSHAWA WITH THIRD PERIOD EXPLOSION
The Markham Waxers hosted Oshawa in the first meeting of the year between the two clubs and after two periods of exchanging goals the Waxers exploded for five goals to defeat Oshawa 8-4. Nathaniel Brooks' first three Jr. A goals led the Waxer attack. [recap later]
