Waxers' Ethan Lo Wins Post-Secondary Bursary

Eight high school students who made a big impact in their schools and in their communities - in addition to being recognized as top players and volunteers in the OMHA - are the winners of $5,000 post-secondary bursaries from Dairy Farmers of Ontario, including the Waxers' Ethan Lo. They were selected from the 2023-24 minor hockey season and are set to attend university beginning in September.





Ethan Lo has been recognized by the Mayor of Markham for his work in the community. Now he’s being highlighted with a post-secondary bursary.

Combining his leadership and passion for chess, Lo started a Chess Club at Markham District High School. He worked closely with the school administrators, gathered the materials and supervision and was approved as President of the club. In 2023, Lo was named the Senior Outreach Coordinator for the school’s STEAM Club as well as the school’s only YRDSB Student Trustee Candidate.

Next year, Lo will be enrolled in the Nanotechnology Engineering program at the University of Waterloo.

“It sits at the intersection between my interest in chemistry, physics and math. Those are the things that I would like to continue pursuing in the future to solve problems and make contributions back towards the community,” said Lo.

In 2019, his Markham Waxers team was recognized by the Mayor for their charitable achievements through the Hockey for Heart program.

He’s also volunteered as an on-ice helper and other fundraisers with the Waxers.

Congratulations Ethan—all the best in your future endeavors!
