GLACE BAY, N.S. - The Glace Bay Panthers will have an opportunity on Monday to punch their ticket to the School Sport Nova Scotia Division 1 boys' hockey provincial championship.

Glace Bay will travel to Antigonish to play the Dr. J.H. Gillis Royals in a provincial qualifying game. Puck drop is slated for 6:30 p.m. at the Antigonish Arena.

The Panthers and Royals each lost their regional final series, setting up the qualifying game. Glace Bay lost to the Riverview Ravens in their league final, while Dr. J.H. Gillis was knocked off by the Cobequid Educational Centre Cougars of Truro.

The provincial championship will take place in Capital Region next weekend.
