Team Play propels the Waxers to the South Division Final
From www.markhamwaxers.ca
The Waxers have come together as a team to win two postseason match-ups. In the first round the Waxers faced the Dixie Beehives. Solid performances from all team members enabled the Waxers to take Dixie in three straight.
In the second round the Waxers went to work against a tough opponent from Vaughan. During the regular season the two teams were only a goal apart in all games. The Vipers added to their season roster at or near the trading deadline and very much a veteran team. Anchored by former Waxer midget Kori Coelho in goal they presented a daunting challenge for the Waxers. The Waxers added a few parts of their own at the trading deadline.
Vaughan finished second in the standing and received a first round “bye”. Most of the “hockey pundits” picked Vaughan to win a close series. The Waxers were focused however, and their team play and determination surprised and overcame the squad from Vaughan. Every player contributed to a Waxer victory. The final and fourth game was won Friday night at the “under construction for three years” Markham Centennial Arena with many Minor Waxers on hand; this was the Waxers Minor Hockey Night. The supporters overcame a nasty wintry night to come and support the Waxers.
At the game end the Viper players and management demonstrated class and showed the young Minor Hockey players that once competition ends appreciation and respect for your opponents is a must. The game was lost and with their season over the Vipers lined-up to congratulate the Waxers. Daniel Agozzino who was ejected from the game in the middle of the third period donned his jersey and skated with the rest of the team to demonstrate his appreciation for his opponents. The Vipers extended their congratulations to Waxers bench staff as well. True Class, and Al Doria should be congratulated.
The Waxers and the rest of the league will miss Frank Carnevale and his fiery and combative disposition next year. Frank announced his retirement and no doubt, will spend more time enjoying his son’s play. Good Luck Frank.
