Here's what you need to know about tryouts.
Tryout Regulations: Lake Ontario Region (LOR) Regulations
The Markham Waxers are subject to the Lake Ontario Region (LOR) Regulations set by the Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) with respect to tryout and player releases.
All player release decisions are made together by the head coach and the Waxers executive.
Tryout Schedules
As per Hockey Canada regulations, tryouts for U14 - U18 teams will be held in the spring. Full tryouts for the U18 AAA team will be in August, but there is a skate on the schedule for returning Markham Waxers and Zone residents.
Tryouts for U10-U13 rep teams and U7-U13 house league/select teams will be held in September. The tryout schedule for fall tryouts will be posted in early September.

Tryout Registration
All players must register, including returning Waxers players.
Please complete tryout registration no later than 48 hours before the first tryout for each team for which you are trying out.
Registrations are tied to a particular team. You do not need to register for your second or third tryout for a particular team.
If you are trying out for one team and get cut, you must register again for the second team's first tryout.
Tryout Paperwork
Players without the proper paperwork required to try out with the Markham Waxers will not be allowed on the ice during tryouts. NO EXCEPTIONS.
It is the responsibility of the player to obtain the proper paperwork from the association with which they played during the 2021-2022 season.
Tryout Fees
Tryout fee $26 for 90-minute tryout and $21 for 60-minute tryout.
Payment by credit/debit card only.
PTS Processing

How to request a PTS form.
Release
As per OHF Regulation E49 (“A player who resides in an OMHA LOR Centre/AAA Zone from U10 to U13 requires a release from his Centre of residence at AAA to tryout at AAA, at AA to tryout at AA, and at A to tryout at A with other teams in the LOR.”) and E54 (“From U10 to U13, teams must conduct tryouts and offer player registrations within the following timelines”) the following procedures with respect to player releases will be followed by all OMHA-LOR centres / AAA Zones:
- No player releases will be issued prior to tryouts.
- Player releases for U10 to U13 are at the discretion of the association in conjunction with the head coach.
- Player releases, for each category of AAA/AA/A as needed, can be requested if you attend a tryout and are not invited back to the next tryout for that category.
This procedure is in accordance with the LOR Regulation and there will be NO EXCEPTIONS.
Please refer to the OHF website if you have any questions.
