The Markham Waxers Hockey organization is proud to announce the creation of an annual Scott Badali Volunteer of the Year award. This award along with a $500 prize will be awarded to an oustanding, young volunteer currently playing on a Waxers team—one award to a rep player and one to a house league player. The award will be presented at the annual players' banquet in April.
Scott was a longtime coach and hockey development instructor who bravely fought a battle with melanoma, but passed away on December 14, 2024, one month before his 40th birthday.
We are proud to say that Scott was a rostered Waxers coach and trainer for over eight years. Scott was a part of our Hockey Development leadership group since it began over ten years ago. He worked with players of all skill levels and at all age levels at both the house league and rep levels.
Scotty loved the blue and white of the Markham Waxers almost as much as he loved his Toronto Maple Leafs. He never hesitated to donate his time and energy for whatever Waxers cause needed him and positive attitude and love of the game infected all those who were lucky enough to interact with him.
We miss him very much.

Deadline for the this year's award is March 28, 2025.
