Markham Waxers to host inaugural U18 BB/A OHF Championships

The Markham Waxers U18 BB1 team are honoured to host the inaugural U18 BB/A Championship presented by the Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF). The non-body checking (BB/A) categorization is the fastest growing division in minor hockey across Ontario.

The 2025–26 season marks a milestone year for the Markham Waxers Hockey Club, who are celebrating 60 years of providing minor hockey programs in Markham.

The OHF Championships bring together championship representatives from across the province — including teams from the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA), the Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL) and the Minor Hockey Alliance of Ontario (ALLIANCE) — alongside the host team for a three-day tournament showcasing elite competition and community pride.

For players, the championship offers the opportunity to compete at the highest level against top-tier opponents and vie for the title of OHF Champion.

The Waxers roster is made up of dedicated players in their final year of minor hockey. Together with their families and team staff they proudly represent the Markham community both on and off the ice.

After finishing first in league play during the regular season, they followed up by capturing the York Simcoe Minor Hockey League Championship and most recently the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA) Championship. Along the way this season, they have won three tournament championships, with hopes of even bigger titles still ahead.

Come out to catch some great hockey action and show your support for the team in their pursuit of the OHF Championship from April 17th to 19th at the Angus Glen Community Centre. For more information, go to https://sites.google.com/view/u18-nbc-ohf-championships-2026
