These Maroons were the first Chatham team to win an OHA title. In 1937-38 they competed in the Michigan Ontario Amateur Hockey league and then entered OHA Playdowns while still finishing MOHL playoffs. In the semi-final 2 out of 3 series they beat Kitchener Greenshirts 2 games to 1 and in the finals they eliminated Niagara Falls Cataracts in 2 straight games to become OHA Senior “B” Champions. It was the first time in 20 years of competition that a Chatham team had won an OHA title. They then went on to compete for the Allan Cup beating the Intermediate “A” Champion Preston Riversides in 2 straight games before dropping a total goals series 1-1 and 5-0 to the Northern winners Falconbridge Falcons in the finals.
