Markham Waxers Game Report

AUG. 26/01 (Pre-season exhibition) P1 P2 P3 OT FINAL
MARKHAM WAXERS 1 3 3 - 7
BRAMPTON CAPITALS 2 3 4 - 9
FOOTBALL OR HOCKEY? HARD TO TELL BY THE SCORE  
Well, it looks like summer is over as the Waxers played their first of four exhibition games tonight in Brampton.  A tense, defensive battle ensued (during the warm-up that is) as the host Capitals came out on top defeating the Waxers 9-7.

Markham showed flashes of offensive flair, which too often were thwarted by the Brampton goalie and then followed up by poor defensive plays which resulted in Capitals' goals.  The Waxers had to battle back the entire game, never holding the lead, and Brampton scored the winning goal in the last minute of play.  The Capitals then added an empty netter with 12 seconds remaining for the insurance marker.

On the positive side, the Waxers received goals from seven different players on the evening.  Trailing 2-0 in the first, Jesse Boucher banged home a rebound after Albert Ferrante and Mark Menonte had created the scoring chance for Menonte.  The first period ended 2-1.

After Brampton opened the scoring in the second, Mark Skeels cut in to the lead after finishing off a nice centering pass from Kyle Zettler who was found behind the net by Eric Kleine.  Ryan Steane then tied the game at 3-3 after jamming home a rebound after Boucher and Michael Diamond had taken shots on net.  The Capitals retook the lead 4-3, but only for 5 seconds as Menonte won the draw at center, deked one defenseman and let go a bullet shot under the cross bar for a 4-4 tie.  Brampton added on more to take a 5-4 lead in to the third.

The Waxers tied the score early in the third when Zettler tapped home a rebound of a Skeels slapper after Derek Doucette lead the 3-on-2 up the ice.  Again, Brampton scored to take the lead, again, the Waxers tied the score.  This time, Diamond blasted a shot from the point on a powerplay to tie the game at 6-6, Kevin Cribari and Ferrante earning assists.  With the score 7-6 Brampton, Pat Poretta scored after being set up by Corey Smith to finish the Waxers scoring and tie the game 7-7.

The Waxers will look to even their preseason record when they host the same Brampton Capitals, Friday night at Markham, game time is 6:30 pm.
