Victoria B.C. - The Victoria Royals are back at home this weekend as they begin a four-game homestand with a matchup against the defending WHL champion, Moose Jaw Warriors. It begins on Friday, November 1st at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre, with puck drop set for 7:05 pm.
The Royals are coming off a four-game road trip where they faced three division rivals: the Kamloops Blazers, Kelowna Rockets and Prince George Cougars. After two shootout wins, the team managed to snag four points during the week. They sit fourth in the Western Conference.
This cross-conference matchup between the Royals and Warriors will be the first and only matchup between these two for the 2024-25 WHL season, as the Royals look to win their first game over the Warriors since Feb. 2, 2020. When the Royals won 7-2.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
VICTORIA
Tanner Scott - After appearing in all 13 games for the Royals thus far, the Sherwood Park, AB, native has proven himself to be a reliable veteran. The 20-year-old winger recorded points in three of four games during the Royals' most recent road trip. This included a two-assist night against the Prince George Cougars, his third multi-point night of the season. Scott currently leads the Royals in goals scored with five and is third in total points with 13.
MOOSE JAW
Brayden Yager - The 19-year-old from Saskatoon, SK, has had quite the year. Off the ice, the Pittsburgh Penguins draft pick was part of an NHL trade which sent his draft rights to the Winnipeg Jets. On the ice, Yager is excelling in his fifth season as a Warrior. He was named the 36th team captain in franchise history and in 11 games has posted 17 points from eighth goals and nine assists. Notably, on Oct. 19, against the Swift Current Broncos, Yager posted a four-point night with two goals and two assists.
