The Markham Waxers Minor Peewee A Hockey Club have a lot to be thankful for! They skated into Ottawa with gold in sight and that is what they got! Forfeiting a home cooked Thanksgiving dinner, the boys played with heart and class to take the title. After playing 3 round robin games and a semifinal and winning them all, 2nd place would just not do! We played 5 games in total scoring 24 goals and only giving up 7, with excellent offence, defence and stellar goaltending by the Waxer netminders. So, it’s off to the finals we go!!! The Waxers came out strong and notched the 1st goal in the opening shift of the game. We held onto the lead until the end of the 1st when Nepean came back to tie it up. In the 2nd period, we worked hard and put a few more past their goaltender. With the score now 4-1 Waxers, things were getting tense! In the 3rd they got one back, but not before we put another past their goaltender, making the score now 5-2. Things were getting more intense, our boys continued to stick to the game plan and played hard…they were rewarded with yet another goal. There was less than a minute to go, but it seemed like hours when that goal slid past the Nepean netminder…we win 6-2!!! The Markham Waxers Minor Peewee A win it all with a perfect record and a lot to be thankful for! Not only did they win every game, but they showed how good hockey should be played…with talent and skill. When you work hard as a team, it pays off! Congratulations to the entire team who put forth a fabulous effort and contributed to this successful win…not to mention the amazing coaching staff who kept the boys focused and pumped!
