ELORA – The Elora Rocks yielded a pair of goals in the third period as they were edged 3-2 by the Woodstock Lakers in Western Ontario Super Hockey League play Friday night at the Jefferson Elora and District Community Centre.

However, the Lakers came back in the third, tying it with a goal with 1:30 played in the period and winning it with a shorthanded goal with five seconds to go.

Blaize Bridges and Alex Uttley had a goal apiece for Elora while single assists were recorded by Joey Heath, Zack Cameron, Charlie Stephens and Steven Dol.

Kevin Hu scored the first and third goals for Woodstock while Mitch Britton added the other goal. Single assists were awarded to Christian Polillo, Hunter Dubecki, Justin Cheng, Alex Mourani, Gavyn Connell-Helle and Mitch Randell.
