WAXERS TO CELEBRATE TWO MILESTONES The season marked one hundred years of competition of Markham based hockey clubs in the Ontario Hockey Association, the first being an Intermediate entry in the OHA back in 1902. For the Waxers themselves, it marked the fortieth anniversary of the sponsorship by The International Group, Inc. Formerly named International Waxes Inc., the company became the title sponsor in the 1962-63 season and the team has been known as the Waxers ever since that time. The Waxers celebrated the special season in fine fashion as "The Anniversary Squad" became the first Waxer team in over 20 years to record a 30 win season and became the first Waxer team to win the OPJAHL South Division Championship (the first Division champions in almost 30 years). The team looked sharp on the ice as well in their specially designed third jersey, which will soon be on display at The Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.
