The Markham Waxers Minor Hockey Association has been organizing minor hockey house league in the Markham area since the 1930s. We are a community organization of over 700 participating players ranging in age from 4 to 20, coaches, organizers, and sponsors. We focus on providing a rich and rewarding experience for everyone involved while developing players’ skills and knowledge and enjoying the game of hockey.
Our philosophy and goals are to encourage and promote fair play, sportsmanship, and respect; to develop minor hockey players and coaches in Markham; and to develop a strong sense of community pride, respect and participation.
As many can appreciate, the cost involved in honouring that commitment can be substantial. Thanks to the support of local businesses, we can keep our player registration fees affordable for Markham families by offsetting costs of uniforms, increasing ice rates, and officials. Community support also enables us to grow our development programs for our players and coaches. You can promote your business while supporting the children of your community by becoming a Markham Minor Hockey Association sponsor.
What Your Sponsorship Provides
Your sponsorship buys a full uniform for each player on a team—socks and team jersey displaying your name and/or logo. Sponsorship also helps pay for ice, trophies, the players’ banquet, goalie and miscellaneous equipment, coaching clinics, referee and timekeeper fees and skills clinics.
