Congratulations to the Markham Waxers U14 A2 Team on becoming the tournament Finalists.
There were 8 teams in the group spanning over 2 pools, and finished first in pool A. Our Waxers went undefeated throughout the round robin while gaining momentum as each game passed. In the Quarterfinals the Waxers played very strong beating the host team Scarborough Ice Raiders 2-1, and then a statement game grabbing a shutout in the Semifinals against a strong opponent 3-0 over Leaside. In the Finals our Waxers played extremely well trading chances all game long against Humber Valley who finished 1st in pool B. The game tied at 1-1 after regulation went into overtime and the Waxers played with heart and determination getting extremely close with some great chances. Markham just came up short in overtime losing 2-1.
Congratulations to all the players and coaches for an incredible weekend with great memories and continuing to progress as the weekend went on. Looking forward to building on another season together.
-Coach Mario Ilari
