COCHENOUR, Ont. – The Fort Frances Lakers broke open scoreless game with five second period goals en route to a 7-1 win over the English River Miners in Superior International Junior Hockey League play Saturday at Cochenour Arena.

It was all Lakers after that as they tacked on four tallies in an 11-minute span to take control of the contest.
After Roshen Jaswal had the eventual game-winner at 6:01, Fort Frances picked up three more man advantage goals from Cole Tymkin, Christian Ripley and another by Jaswal to go up 5-1 after 40 minutes.
The Lakers’ fifth power play effort of the night 4:17 into the third added to the cushion as Jaswal finished off a hat trick to go with an earlier assist.

Nick Minerva had five helpers to give him a five-point night while Dylan Robertson had three assists on the night.
