The Chatham Maroons, a junior ice hockey team based in Chatham, Ontario, have recently made some strategic moves to strengthen their blue line. The team, which competes in the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League, has been working hard to improve their defensive capabilities and these new additions are expected to make a significant impact.
One of the key acquisitions for the Maroons is defenseman, Dylan Schives. The 19-year-old from Belle River, Ontario, brings a wealth of experience to the team. He has previously played for the Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League and the Chatham-Kent Cyclones of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association. Schives is known for his strong skating abilities and physical play, making him a valuable asset on the blue line.
In addition to Schives, the Maroons have also signed defenseman, Ryan Gagnier. The 18-year-old from Tecumseh, Ontario, has played for the LaSalle Vipers of the GOJHL and the Sun County Panthers of the Alliance Hockey League. Gagnier is known for his strong defensive skills and his ability to move the puck effectively.
These new additions to the Maroons’ blue line are expected to bring a new level of depth and skill to the team. Head coach, Kyle Makaric, is confident that they will make a positive impact on the ice and help the team achieve their goals for the season.
The Maroons have also made some changes to their coaching staff, with the addition of assistant coach, Tyler Roeszler. Roeszler, a former player for the Maroons, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the team. He will work closely with Makaric to develop the team’s defensive strategies and help the players reach their full potential.
The Chatham Maroons have a long history of success in the GOJHL and these recent moves show their commitment to maintaining a strong and competitive team. With the addition of Schives, Gagnier, and Roeszler, the Maroons are poised to make a strong push for the playoffs and continue their winning tradition.
Fans of the Maroons are excited to see these new additions in action and are looking forward to a successful season. The team’s next game is on Friday, October 25th, where they will face off against the St. Thomas Stars. With their strengthened blue line, the Maroons are ready to take on any challenge that comes their way.
