The Timmins Rock will be advancing to the semi-finals in the NOJHL East Division after a triumphant win last night against the Hearst Lumberjacks.

In the third and deciding game of the quarter-finals, Timmins came out strong, beating the Lumberjacks 5-nothing.

The game started slow with no goals scored in the first period. But just over five minutes into the second period, Timmins scored their first goal of the game. And about three minutes later Jace Soroko managed to get another one in the net, making it 2-0. Three more goals landed in the third period for the Rock, securing their place in the semi-finals.

They now will face the Powassan Voodoos in a 7 game series. The first game is this Friday, March 16th at 7p.m. at the Powassan Sportsplex.
