Markham traveled up the 400 (in what may have been a first round playoff preview) for a Sunday afternoon affair with the Couchiching Terriers at the Rama MASK Arena and came just 12 seconds from earning the victory on their last bus trip of the season.

Markham opened the scoring in the first when Jeff Paisley bagged the first of his two on the day, and first of two goals in 0:56 to make it 1-0 with 1:30 left on the clock.  Couchiching tied it up 34 seconds later before Paisley would strike again sending the Waxers to the room with a one goal lead after 20 minutes.  

The Terriers stormed out in the second period to take a 3-2 lead before Daniel Torres ripped a slap shot through the goalie to tie the game.  Couchiching surged ahead 4-3 before Markham scored twice more before the end of the period to take a 5-4 lead in to the third.  Evan Erdmann scored the Waxers 4^th goal, followed by an Andrew Dias powerplay marker just 1:30 later for another one goal lead at the intermission.  

Markham pretty much held Couchiching in check until the end of the game when a funny bounce resulted in the tying goal.  Rob Cundari stopped 35 shots in net for the Waxers, most shots coming during the Terriers 12 powerplay opportunities.
