Jim Taylor, Echo Contributor

After a slow start to the season Woodstock’s win streak has them in a tie for fourth in the Provincial Junior Hockey League’s Doherty Division.

Dailen Fousek scored three times while Brodie Kearns and Cooper Vickerman each had two goals as Woodstock blanked Hespeler 10-0 at Southwood on Friday night.

Kearns added 3 assists for a 5-point night while Vickerman extended his division scoring lead by also adding 2 helpers for a 4-point night. Rookie defenceman Colin Shaw buried his first junior goal and added 2 assists. Owen Ireton had a 3-point game and sits in second place behind Vickerman in the division scoring race. Gavin Birmingham scored the other Vets goal.

Tyler Bouck made 27 saves for his first shutout of the season and the 11th of his career.

On Saturday in Dorchester, Charley Barnes scored with just over three minutes left to give the Vets a 3-2 win.

Liam Gorman had opened the scoring for the Vets midway through the first period, but the Dolphins tied it on the powerplay late in the period before taking a 2-1 lead early in the second. Dailen Fousek scored his fourth goal in two games to tie the score for Woodstock early in the third frame, setting up the game for Barnes’ heroics.
