HALLOWE'EN TURNS UP NOTHING BUT TREATS
The Markham Waxers started off the weekend in fine fashion, spooking the visiting Huntsville Wildcats by an 11-2 score. The Waxers saw balanced scoring on do the "Trick" during what was quite possibly the poorest attended game in the past 4 or 5 years. [recap to come]

MARKHAM PICKS UP EXPERIENCED FORWARD
The Markham Waxers are excited to announce the acquisition of veteran, 20 year old left winger Jeff Paisley from the Newmarket Hurricanes.  Paisley has played the last three seasons with the Hurricanes putting up solid offensive numbers and will add to the depth and leadership of the forward ranks.

WAXERS OUTLAST HOST BUZZERS
The Waxers may (or may not depending on what happens in the coming games) have made a strong statement to the rest of the South tonight with a gusty 7-6 victory in St Michael's.  As expected, the game was played at warp speed the majority of the night and was definitely worth the price of admission as Markham scored twice to break a 5-5 tie in the third only to have the Buzzers bag one late with the goalie out [recap]

HOT RAIDERS TENDER STYMIES WAXERS
Markham lost Friday night to the visiting Wexford Raiders by a 4-2 score thanks in great part to the hot goaltending at the green and black end.  The Waxers drop in the standings as a result of the loss and now look to rebound against the red-hot St Michael's Buzzers Sunday night. [recap]

WAXERS ADD EXPERIENCED NETMINDER
Markham is excited to announce the addition of veteran netminder Ethan Gazdic.  A native of Sudbury and a 1983 born goalie, Gazdic has played the past 3 seasons in the Northern Ontario Junior A League with Espanola and Northern Michigan.

STOP ME IF YOU HAVE HEARD (READ) THIS BEFORE...
Markham has now set a franchise record high for overtime losses as they were defeated just seconds in to the extra frame by North York, 4-3.  A missed opportunity for the Waxers who held 2-0 and 3-1 leads before the midway point of the game. [recap]

WAXERS BACK ON WINNING TRACK
Markham hosted Vaughan for the first time the season and proved to be unfriendly hosts as they defeated the Vipers by a 6-2 score.  The win comes just 24 hours after a disappointing effort in Newmarket and was a result of all the ingredients missing the night before: competitiveness, sacrifice and a balanced attack.

MARKHAM GETS SCHOOLED IN NEWMARKET
The Waxers made their only trip to Newmarket this season and were shown exactly what it takes to compete with the big boys in the OPJAHL as the Hurricanes won by a 4-1 score.  Markham needs to learn from the lesson taught by Newmarket that out working and out competing an opponent is how the victories add up.

WAXERS THANKFUL FOR THIRD PERIOD RALLY
For the second Sunday in a row the Waxers came out flat on home ice, this week as they hosted the Collingwood Blues for the only time this season. Luckily, the Waxers were able to surge back from a 2-goal deficit entering the third period to salvage a point in a 3-3 tie. [recap]

WAXERS TAKE SPIRIT OUT OF STOUFFVILLE
A fairly solid game for the majority of the 60 minutes resulted in a 4-1 Waxer victory over the cross-town rival Spirit of Stouffville Friday night.  This creates another 2 game win streak for Markham who look to increase that to a season high 3 gamer on Sunday . [recap]

SOLID THIRD PROPELS WAXERS PAST VIPERS
A four goal outburst in the third period Monday night helped the Waxers surge past the home Vaughan Vipers for a 6-3 victory. The win pushes the Waxers over the .500 mark again and marks their second consecutive road win . [recap]

DISAPPOINTING SUNDAY EFFORT
In their only visit to Markham this season, the Couchiching Terriers benefitted from a disgraceful Waxer effort to skate away with a decisive 6-2 victory. Not much to say other than the fact that the Waxers were just plain pathetic. [recap]

HOME AND HOME SWEEP COMPLETE
Markham hosted Ajax Friday night to complete a home and home set with the Axemen, which the Waxers swept behind a 6-3 victory on home ice. The Waxers scored once in the odd numbered periods and four times in the even numbered one to earn their third win of the season. [recap]
