A pretty good Markham Waxer team was beaten tonight by the Oakville Blades as the Blades took the final series 4 games to 1 to become the 2008 OPJHL Champions. In the final analysis of the series, what beat the Waxers IMO was the DDG that Oakville possessed.
D - Discipline
D - Depth
G - Greenham
Congratulations to the Waxers for winning the South and the South/East Championships. You don't get to the finals without beating some great teams as you did.
To the Champion Oakville Blades, congratulations on your 1st OPJAHL Championship in history. The 1st one is always the one you remember. Your job isn't over yet, the OPJHL Crown is just the beginning. The Dudley is next and of course beyond that the RBC awaits.
In my opinion with your DDG, you have the team that can go all the way and become the 2nd OPJHL team in history to claim an RBC Cup. Best of luck at the Dudley, you can do it.
