πŸ’ THE BIG STORY
Maroons Take Game 2 in OT Thriller
The Chatham Maroons are officially the hottest team in the province. In a heart-pounding Game 2 last night in St. Thomas, the Maroons secured a 5-4 overtime victory, extending their incredible winning streak to 13 games.

After a back-and-forth battle that saw the lead change three times, Kaden Sienko netted the winner halfway through the first overtime period. The win gives Chatham a dominant 2-0 lead in their best-of-seven series.

Why it matters: Momentum like this is rare in playoff hockey. The series now shifts back to the Memorial this Sunday, where a sell-out crowd is expected to cheer on what could be a historic championship run.
