Perhaps it was just a little home cooking that was needed to solve the Timmins Rock’s offensive woes.

After being shut out twice in and allowing just one goal in two other exhibition contests, then being blanked 4-0 by the Cubs in their 2025-26 opener in Greater Sudbury on Sept. 11, the Rock exploded for 14 goals in a pair of contests at the McIntyre Arena on the weekend.

They followed up a 6-1 win over the Blind River Beavers Friday night with an 8-5 triumph over the Soo Eagles Sunday afternoon.

Soo forward Anden Marceau almost spoiled the party, however, as he exploded for four third-period goals to pull the Eagles back into the contest after they entered the frame trailing 6-1.

For two periods, Sunday afternoon’s contest had a similar feel to Friday night’s victory.
