Local sports preview (Tuesday)

There’s one game on the local sports schedule.

The Dr. J.H. Gillis Royals travel to Truro to take on the CEC Cougars in the opening game of their best-of-three regional semi-final playoff series.

The Cougars (13-2-1), who finished first in the five-team Northern Nova Scotia High School Hockey League with 38 points, lost in the league championship game Saturday night; the Royals (3-11-1), last in the league in the regular season with 10 points, finished third in the league playoffs.

CEC, who swept the four-game season series between the teams, edged Dr. J.H. Gillis 3-2 in double overtime in the league semi-finals Friday night.

Game time is 6 p.m.

The winner will have a chance to advance to the regional final when the series shifts to Antigonish for game two Friday.
