Seventh Heaven – Of the Royals’ 24 games this season, five have seen Victoria tally seven or more goals. Last season, the Royals completed four contests where the club recorded seven or more markers.

Super Soy – With an assist, Royals’ veteran Tyler Soy is only three points (123g-138a) from tying the all-time franchise record for most career points. Former Royal and Chilliwack Bruin, Brandon Magee, holds the current record at 264 points (113g-151a) over 318 games.

Brickhouse – Victoria netminder Griffen Outhouse’s shutout streak lasted 73:38 and dated back to November 14th against the Red Deer Rebels. Last night versus the Spokane Chiefs, Outhouse posted his ninth career WHL shutout, and passed alumnus Coleman Vollrath for the most in Victoria history.

Royal Alum – Americans’ blueliner Anthony Bishop played in his first game against his former club. Bishop was traded this past October from the Royals to the Americans in the 2018 WHL Bantam Draft.
