Dauphin improved its Westman High School Hockey League record to a perfect 5-0, Saturday in Dauphin, scoring 49 goals in the process, while allowing just nine goals against.

Ethan Carnegie scored twice and added two assists to lead the Dauphin Clippers to a 9-1 rout over the Vincent Massey Vikings 2 team.

Cody Zurba also scored twice and had one assist. Jesse Hockridge, Will Busby, Ethan Zalischuk, Julien Lopez and Boston Karlson had singles.

Rhett Ryden replied for the Vikings.

Chase Glover earned the win in goal, while Kateri Mills took the loss.

Clippers coach Josh Yaschyshyn said the team was missing some players due to injuries and prior commitments.

“Everybody stepped up. Guys were playing out of position. Guys were playing sick. It was really nice to see everybody was unselfish right to the end today,” he added.

With players getting the chance to move up in the lineup, Yaschyshyn was pleased with the play of everyone on the ice.

“We had D men playing forward, we had forwards playing D. It’s nice to see that everybody knows that everybody is valuable and contributes on the team. It’s nice to see,” he said.

The team’s defensive play limited the Vikings’ chances and has allowed just three goals in their last three games.

“We’ve worked on it a lot in practice to take care of the D zone, so it’s nice to see,” Yaschyshyn said.

The Clippers are on the road next weekend, facing the Birtle/Shoal Lake/Rossburn/Birdtail Falcons, Friday in Birtle at 8 p.m., followed by a rematch with the Vikings 2 team in Wawanesa, Sunday, at 2 p.m.
