The Rattlers opened the scoring first a little under 8 minutes in to the game.  With just under five minutes left in the period, Travis O'Rourke tied the game on a power play marker with assists going to Derek Doucette  and Matt Roberts.  Then just over a minute later, Mark Skeels went end-to-end and finished with a nice backhand deke to stake the Waxers to a 2-1 lead.  Eric Kleine and Kevin Cribari picked up assists.  The Rattlers would tie the score before the period ended.

Thornhill again scored the first goal of the period, on a power play mid way through the stanza.  The lead stayed that way until Jesse Boucher tied the score and gave the Waxers the lead all in one shift with under 3 minutes remaining.  The first goal, on the power play saw Skeels and Doucette move the puck back and forth at the blue line before feeding Boucher on the boards.  Boucher then dangled his way to the net, deking the goalie and stuffing it short side as he went behind the net.  Then 35 seconds later, Ryan Steane fed Mark Menonte on a 3-on-2, Menonte blasted a shot from the boards and before any one could do anything about the rebound, Boucher swooped in a slammed it home, 4-3 Waxers.

The third period saw the Rattlers score the first 2 goals to take a 5-4 lead with 9 minutes left.  The Waxers capitalizzed on a late powerplay when Doucette dumped the puck in to the zone and some good forechecking from Paul Robinson caused a turnover that landed on Pat Poretta's stick.  Poretta went straight to the net and after 2 whacks at the puck, tied the game 5-5.

Kevin Sit played the game in net for the Waxers and stopped 38 shots along the way.

The Waxers now take time to prepare for the regular season which opens Friday, September 14 when the Pickering Panthers come to town.
