The Cape Breton Eagles are soaring after sweeping the second round of their Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League playoff series Wednesday night.
The Eagles beat the Saguenéens 8-5 in Chicoutimi, Que., moving onto the third round of the playoffs for the first time since 2007.
Jacob Newcombe, from Sambro, N.S., set a new Eagles record for points in a playoff game with six.
The Eagles will faceoff against either the Baie-Comeau Drakkar, Victoriaville Tigres, or Rouyn-Noranda Huskies. No matter which team they meet in the third round, the Eagles’ first game will be on the road.
