The Timmins Rock scored nine unanswered goals after the Voodoos opened the scoring in the opening minute in a convincing 9-1 win at the McIntyre arena in Timmins Thursday night.  

Jared Hester netted three goals to lead the offence for the Rock.  

Eric Nagy opened the scoring for the Voodoos 58 seconds into the opening frame and it was all downhill for the visitors after that.  

After Cole Gilligan tied it four minutes later, the home side kept coming and tacked on four more with singles by Jordan Rendle, Hester, Gilligan and Hautanen.

It was more offensive firepower from the Rock in the middle session as they scored three more to go up 8-1 after 40 minutes thanks to Hautanen, Jacob Shankar and Hester.

Hester then capped off his three-goal night with 4:33 left in the third to finish off the romp.

Spencer Segui, Marcus Blackned and Stewart Parnell dished out two assists each to aid in the one-sided win by Timmins.

Nate McDonald started for Powassan and suffered the loss allowing five against on 17 shots in one period of work.

Nick Campbell came in and saved 11 of 15 in 40 minutes of relief. 

The Timmins power play was lethal on this night as they scored four times on eight chances.  

Meantime the Voodoos were scoreless on eight power play chances of their own.  

Matt Nixon was solid in goal for the Rock as he turned away 49 shots in the Rock victory. 

The loss takes the lustre off an exciting 3-2 win over the unbeaten Cochrane Crunch at home on Monday night as they fall to 3-2 on the season.

The nine goals against tonight was two more than the Voodoos had allowed in their first four games combined (7).   

The Voodoos are back home on Saturday night as they host the Blind River Beavers. 

Puck drop is set for 7:30 p.m. at the Powassan Sportsplex.
