Markham Waxers Game Report

SEPT. 6/03 (Pre-season exhibition) P1 P2 P3 OT FINAL
MARKHAM WAXERS 3 3 3 - 9
ST MICHAEL'S BUZZERS 0 2 3 - 5
WAXERS CAPTURE FIRST ANNUAL ST MICHAEL'S SHOOTOUT
"Shootout" was a proper name for the St.Mike's tournament. Every game saw a number of goals and the final game saw 14.

The first period saw a fired up Waxer squad take it to the Buzzers. Stephen Wong opened the scoring. BJ Quinto started the play with a shot from the side boards, Riley Hill went charging for the rebound and was sent flying over the goalie, Wong picked up the puck and circled around the goalie and put the puck in the yawning cage. The Waxers would strike again on the powerplay as Derrell Levy would feed Jamie Wright the puck at the point who dumped it low to Ben Cottreau behind the net. Cottreau stepped out in front and stuffed the puck past the goaltender for the 2-0 lead. Then shortly after that, Hill would pick off a Buzzer pass up the middle and take a couple of strides into the Buzzer zone and rifle a slap shot past the goalie.

The second period saw the Buzzers fight back early only to lose ground late. The Buzzers scored twice then the Waxers took over with three nice goals. While 4 on 4 Cottreau won a face just outside the Buzzer zone corralled the puck and entered the zone feed a streaking Ryan Olidis at the boards and he sniped the top corner with a rocket. Later the Waxers found themselves on a 4 on 3 powerplay and Quinto would deflect a low Wright shot over the sprawling tender for a very pretty goal. Then to finish the scoring on the period, Cottreau would score again on a nice 2 on 1 shorthanded passing play with Olidis, as Albert Ferrante would draw the other assist.

The third saw the Waxers come out quickly as Josh Jacobs would feed a flying Nathaniel Brooks who converted on the breakaway beating the goalie on a nice deke. The Buzzers would the storm back and try to make a game of it with 3 quick goals. But the Waxers did not fold, and on a nice play, Stephen Weiss would head into the Buzzer zone and put a hard shot on net. The goalie made the save, but Jacobs would be there to sweep up as he sent a spin around shot through the goalie's legs. Cottreau would finish up, getting the hat trick on an empty net goal from Levy and Rothwell that made for the 9-5 final.

The Waxers saw scoring from a multitude of sources as both rookies and veterans found the net. Ben Cottreau was the Waxers lone multiple goal scorer with the hat trick. After the game he was selected as the Waxer Player-of-the-Game and was chosen for the All-Star team with teammates Ryan Olidis and Anthony Guadagnolo.
