MARKHAM HOCKEY RUNS IN THE FAMILY
For first-year forward Robbie Burrows, being a Waxer means a lot, maybe even a little more for him than the average player. By playing with the Waxers, Rob becomes the third Burrows family member to suit up for a Markham Junior Hockey Club.

Most Waxer fans will not recall the first Burrows, because they played for Markham over 70 years ago.

Dean Burrows, Rob's grandfather, born in 1908, suited up for Markham along with his younger brother Noel back in the days of the 10-11 player teams. Their team photo (circa 1928) can be seen in the second level of the Markham Centennial Centre just outside the Penalty Box Lounge.

Not much is known about how successful the team was but from all accounts, Noel Burrows was a tough, physical player who was the consummate team player.

Rob amassed 5 goals and 11 assists this season along with an amazing 4 PIM and has certainly exemplified everything that is a Markham Waxer.

The Markham Junior Hockey Club prides itself on its tradition and the Burrows family has been a big part of Markham hockey history.
