FEB. 27/2005 (Round 2, Game 2)	P1	P2	P3	OT	FINAL
WEXFORD RAIDERS	2	2	2	-	6
MARKHAM WAXERS	0	1	2	-	3

Game two was more like playoff hockey, however the change in scenery did not help the Waxers as the home town Wexford Raiders jumped out to an early 3-0 lead and cruised home to a 6-3 victory for a 2-0 series lead. The Raiders scored two empty net goals in the final minute after the Waxers had closed the gap with a strong third period.

Wexford opened the scoring just over 8 minutes in to the game, converting on a powerplay opportunity, and made it 2-0 before the first ended. They got another goal early in the second to make it 3-0 before the Waxers would get on the board. David Kostuch and James Gaulrapp broke up a Wexford rush in the neutral and turned back up ice attacking the Raiders’ end. The puck eventually found its way to Joel Gaulrapp who snuck in on net untouched and roofed a shot to cut the lead to 3-1. Wexford would add another before the second ended to take a commanding 4-1 lead in to the third.

Markham fought back early in the third, first cutting the lead to 4-2 less than than 5 minutes in to the final period and then making it 4-3 before it was half over. On their first goal of the third, Joel Gaulrapp did the dirty work down low in the Wexford end before Kostuch was able to intercept the clearing attempt at the blueline. Kostuch fired the puck back down to a wide open James Gaulrapp , who made a nifty deke and tucked the puck behind the goalie. That was followed by an unassisted marker by Kyle O’Boyle, his first Jr A goal, as his blast from the point eluded the goalie and ricocheted off some bodies and trickled across the goal line. The Waxers could get no closer and Wexford converted twice with goalkeeper Trevor O’Neill on the bench for an extra attacker.
