The Markham Waxers U18 BB2 team are the gold medal
champions of the 2025 Toronto Avalanche March Meltdown Tournament!
After going 2-1-1 in round robin
play and clinching the number one seed overall, the Waxers advanced to a
semi-final rematch against a tough defensive team in the Leaside Flames A
team. After a slow start to the game, some strong goaltending kept
the boys in the game and they rebounded with a big goal to open the scoring and
take a lead 1-0 to end the 1st period. After numerous
close calls and scoring chances by both teams in the middle frame, the Waxers
added an insurance marker mid way through the 3rd period on the PP. They
boys held on the rest of the way and secured the win sending them to the
finals versus the U18A Milton Jr Menace.
In the championship game, the
Waxers came out the same way as the semi final game with a big opening period
goal. The back and forth opportunities continued with numerous chances by both
teams in this defensive battle. The boys dug deep and locked down,
committed to the process and held that same 1-0 lead for 2 more periods and
eventually were crowned champions with a 1-0 win.
A huge thank you goes out to all
our Waxers families and friends for their support this weekend and especially a
big congratulations to all the Markham Waxers U18 BB2 team: Kish, Adam, Pagsie,
Daniel, Kevy, Wanger, Tanger, Rhys, Mats, Jalen, Evan, EZ, Knighty, Ryden,
Devin, Terry, Brando, Jack.
