It was a double dose of double OT for the Chatham Maroons to open the GOJHL regular season during Showcase Weekend in Pelham. The Maroons tied Niagara 5-5 after double OT in a game that saw new captain Maddux Rychel score a hat trick. On Sunday, Chatham fell 3-2 to Listowel in double OT. Rychel finished the Showcase weekend with a province-leading six points.
Sarnia was 1-1 in weekend play, beating Buffalo 4-2 and dropping a tight one to Caledonia by a 4-3 final.
The Maroons and Legionnaires meet Thursday night in Sarnia. 7:10 start time.

The former Lakers picked up their second ‘W’ of the pre-season against Port Stanley, this one in overtime. Anthony Acchoine scored the winner on the powerplay, just 7 seconds into OT.
