CARP – It was a loss and then a bounce-back win as the West Carleton Inferno go 1-1 during their two-game home opening weekend over Thanksgiving.

 Rob McCoy scored the only goal for the Inferno Saturday. On Sunday, the Inferno exploded for three goals in the third period to defeat the Rockets at W. Erskine Johnston Arena. The Inferno got goals from Andrew Hudson, Austin Hutt, Joe Shrubsole and Carp’s Corey Symington. Defenceman McCoy had two assists for a three-point weekend. McCoy is the Inferno’s top point getter with five points in four games.

Symington also has five points in four games.

The Inferno are in second in the West Division, six points behind the undefeated South Grenville Rangers. The Rockets and Jets sit two points behind the Inferno, each team with a win.
