Coaching Staff

Brennan Feasey –  Head Coach / General Manager

Brennan Feasey played AAA hockey for the Elgin Middlesex Chiefs and the Lambton Jr. Sting. During his U16 year, he ranked third in the league for regular-season points and first in playoff points.

He was subsequently drafted in the sixth round by the Windsor Spitfires in the OHL, where he played for two seasons, also spending time with the Chatham Maroons at ages 16 and 17. At 18, he joined the Brampton Battalion before their relocation to North Bay. In his 19-year-old season, he played for the St. Catharines Falcons while attending Brock University. At 20, he returned to Chatham, leading the GOJHL in both goals and points.

He then embarked on a five-year career in OUA/USPORTS, serving as a captain for the last three seasons and leading his team in goals and points during his final year. Following this, he spent a season in the ECHL, playing for the New York Islanders’ farm team, the Worcester Railers, and the New Jersey Devils’ farm team, the Adirondack Thunder. He continued his career overseas in Belgium with HYC Herentals, then in Dubai with the Abu Dhabi Storm, where he again led his team in goals and points.

He concluded his professional career in England with the Bristol Pitbulls, leading the team in goals and points while also serving as a player-coach. Currently, he is playing Senior A hockey with the Alvinston Killer Bees in the OSHL.

I am thrilled to begin my coaching career with the Chatham Maroons, as this organization played a significant role in my junior career and formative years. These were among the most rewarding years of my life, and the friendships I formed during this time remain some of my closest today. I cannot express how optimistic and excited I am to return to the Maroons organization.

We have the best fans in the league, and I look forward to building upon the vibrant history of the team. I am equally eager to collaborate with the Szekesy family and the outstanding coaching and management team already in place.

 

Brett Case – Assistant General Manager

Born and raised in Watford, Ontario, I developed a deep passion for hockey early on—playing minor hockey and officiating throughout my youth.

For the past five years, I’ve proudly served as General Manager of the Alvinston Killer Bees, also taking on coaching responsibilities for three of those seasons.

My commitment to the sport extends beyond the rink, as I actively serve on local minor sports boards, striving to grow the game and make a meaningful impact on the next generation of athletes.

Currently, I’m excited to bring my experience and passion to the Maroons organization, contributing to its strong culture and winning tradition. I live in Forest with my fiancée, Julie, and our three daughters, who inspire me every day to lead by example both on and off the ice.

 

Steven Szekesy – Assistant Coach

Steven has been immersed in hockey his entire life, beginning in Timbits and developing his game through the AAA Windsor Spitfires and Kingsville Kings before advancing to collegiate play. A proud alumnus of Adrian College, he spent 3 years with the Adrian Bulldogs where he helped capture a National Championship.

Prior to his collegiate career, Steven made his mark with the Chatham Maroons, serving as team captain for 2 years. In addition to his on-ice success, Steven also involved himself with on ice personal training, working with players during the summer to help them maximize their performance.

Now returning to the Maroons as Assistant Coach, Steven is excited to bring both his playing experience and his training expertise to the bench for the 2025-2026 season.

He looks forward to working with the players, engaging with Chatham Community, and helping build another memorable chapter in Chatham hockey history.

Steven extends his gratitude to the FANS at Memorial Arena for their loyal support and the passion they bring night after night!

 

Scott Case – Assistant Coach

I’m excited and honored to be part of such a historic franchise with the Chatham Maroons.

I grew up playing minor hockey in Watford and Alvinston, and the game has always been a big part of my life. Recently, I spent two years as captain of the Alvinston Killer Bees and am now heading into my third season as the team’s assistant coach.

Before that, I played Jr. C hockey for the Alvinston Flyers. No matter the role, I always aim to bring a positive attitude and strong work ethic to the rink to help the team in any way I can.

Over the years, I’ve also coached in the East Lambton Minor Hockey system at many different age levels, which has been a great way to stay connected to the game and help younger players develop.

Away from the rink, I live in Watford with my wife Krissy and our two kids, Lincoln and Ryley.
