WAXERS
CAPTAIN COPS OHA AWARD
On February 2, 2000, the Ontario Junior A Provincial Hockey League Awards
were voted upon by the member General Managers and were given out in each
of the four divisions.
The
Markham Waxers are pleased to announce that two players garnered great
consideration in these awards. In the end, Greg
Chambers was the runner up in the Rookie-of-the-Year balloting but
the Waxers wouldn't walk away empty-handed.
Waxers captain and third year veteran Kevin
Tompkins was the unanimous choice for the South Division's Most
Improved Player Award. This Award is generally given to the player who
makes the most improvement from one season to the next and the Waxers are
thrilled to have Kevin win such an important award.
Kevin
has improved virtually every aspect of his game and has become a force to
be reckoned with on a nightly basis. His leadership is a vital component
to his game and he has taken much of the responsibility that wearing the
"C" brings to heart. Once considered a "crash'n'bang"
player, Kevin has parlayed his hard work in to a terrific touch around the
net and has become an excellent puck carrier and penalty killer.
Kevin is now the type of player who can dominate games in almost any
manner and in either end of the rink. Kevin has already eclipsed his
previous goal totals by scoring 25 so far this season in 42 games after
combining for just 20 in his previous 89 games the previous two seasons.
The Waxers are very proud of Kevin's accomplishments.
