NOELVILLE, Ont. – The high-flying Cochrane Crunch got two goals apiece from Seamus Maguire and Dustin Cordeiro to help pace them to a 6-2 victory over the French River Rapids Saturday evening in Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League play at Noelville Arena.

Parker Moskal then capped off the night’s scoring for the Crunch in the final minute of regulation.

Joey Mavrin and Atchison had two assists each in the triumph for Cochrane.

David made 34 saves in earning the win in net for Cochrane as they remained unbeaten early in the season.
