Gordon Kaye, the general manager of the Royals, stated, "this is a great opportunity to bring our players, staff and fans together and celebrate our fifth anniversary season. For our organization, it's a chance for us to once again say ‘thanks' to our fans, and it's also an opportunity for our fans to express their feelings with respect to the individual performance of our players. I think it's safe to say that the players consider it quite an honor to be nominated and selected for special recognition from the fans. We expect a great deal of fun and excitement-and perhaps even a few surprises-at the Fans' Choice Awards Banquet."

The Royals return to action at the Sovereign Center with a pair of games this weekend-Friday against the Johnstown Chiefs (7:00 pm) and Saturday against the Trenton Titans (7:00 pm). On Friday, the first 1500 fans 21 or older will receive a Mike's Hard Lemonade pint glass courtesy of All-Star Distributing; and on Saturday, the first 2000 fans will receive a Barry Brust bobblehead, commemorating the fifth anniversary season for the :Royals.
