WAXERS TO
OPEN REGULAR SEASON AT HOME ON SEPTEMBER 17 Playing a 48-game regular season schedule, the Waxers will play all of its home games at Centennial Arena, including the first seven of the year. In keeping with tradition, the Waxers will play the majority of home game on Fridays at 8pm. But the club also has three Monday home games, on September 20 against North York, September 27 against Aurora and December 6 against Aurora. Also scheduled are two Sunday home games against Caledon on September 26 and Parry Sound on October 3. One Saturday game on December 18 against Oshawa and a Tuesday night affair against Newmarket on January 4 round out the schedule.
The Waxers will play an unbalanced schedule as they meet division rivals Caledon Canadians and St. Michaels Buzzers a total of three times while playing other clubs within their division a total of four times. They also face four clubs from outside their division including a home-and-away set against Aurora, Newmarket, Stouffville and Parry Sound. The road game with Parry Sound will be the only bus trip required by the Waxers, which will save them a considerable amount of expenses in travel costs this season.
"We're playing all of the good teams and it's probably better in the long run that we face these teams. Pickering was first last year in their division and Oshawa was second. Newmarket and Aurora were strong last year and Wexford is strong. We've got it tough.".
