COTTREAU NAMED PLAYER OF THE MONTH BY TWO SOURCES
To finish off an outstanding individual year, Ben Cottreau has been named the January Player of the Month by the OPJAHL and by the hockey magazine Ontario Hockey Now.  For Ben this was his first ever South Division Player of the Month and came as a result of scoring 32 points in the month, which vaulted him to first place overall in the OPJAHL scoring race.

WAXERS BATTLE HARD BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH
There will be a new South Division Champion this year as the first place St Michael's Buzzers dispatched of the Markham Waxers by a 6-3 score in game 4 of the second round Friday night.  The Waxers battled hard and out shot the Buzzers for the 3rd time in the series but just couldn't solve the hot Buzzers netminder. 

THIS TIME THE SCOREBOARD TELLS THE TRUTH
St Michael's played like a first place hockey club in game 3 and pounded the Waxers by an 8-3 score (the last two were empty netters).  Markham came out flat and could not muster anything against the Buzzers although the game was tied 2-2 after 40 minutes. Markham returns home Friday night looking to extend the series and their season. 

DON'T LET THE SCORE FOOL YOU
St Michael's has jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second round playoff series behind a 6-3 victory on home ice Sunday.  The real story of the game was their goalie, stopping 58 shots, as the Waxers out shot, out hustled and out chanced the Buzzers but just could not get the bounces or the goals when needed.  With a day off in between games 2 and 3 the Waxers are hoping the hot goalie cools off. 

CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR IN GAME ONE
The Markham Waxers and St Michael's Buzzers opened their second round playoff series with a closely contested game, the end result being a 3-2 Buzzers victory thanks to a pinball-type goal in the third period that stood up as the winner.  Josh Jacobs and Andrew Dias scored the Waxers goals as the two teams get ready to go back at it on Sunday in game two. 

WAXERS SWEEP COUCHICHING WITH THIRD PERIOD OUTBURST
Rainor Guminny scored what would turn out to be the series winning goal early in the third period of game 4 as the Waxers swept past the Terriers thanks to a 7-3 victory up in Couchiching.  Ben Cottreau had 2 goals as the teams were tied 1-1 and 3-3 at the intermissions.  Jeff Paisley, Chris Korte and Derrell Levy had the other goals.

WAXERS STAGE COMEBACK TO TAKE GAME 3
Led by two goals from Andrew Dias and Derrell Levy, the Waxers made like they were at the Casino up in Rama in game three....getting down early and then storming back as they secured a 9-5 victory.  Trailing 3-0 after the opening 20 minutes, the Waxers scored 6 unanswered in the second period to take the lead for good.

ERDMANN BAGS TWO AS WAXERS TAKE GAME TWO
Markham grabbed a 2-0 lead in their opening playoff series against Couchiching with a 5-1 victory 24 hrs after a double-OT game 1 victory.  Evan Erdmann scored twice, one in each of the first two periods while Ben Cottreau scored the winning goal and Ryan Olidis and Nathaniel Brooks scored insurance markers.  Greg van't Hof stopped 29 shots for the victory.
