Notes

First in the Dub: Defenceman Kalem Parker notched his first WHL point on Tuesday versus Vancouver when he hit Brandon Cutler on a beautiful stretch pass to spring the 20-year-old on a breakaway. Cutler made no mistake, and Parker's first point will forever be remembered as one for the highlight reel.

Big Guns Firing - The Royals have seen their top four returning scorers from last year lead the way through the first three games of the 2021 RE/MAX Hub season.

On The Leaderboard - Tarun Fizer is tied for third in the RE/MAX HUB's BC Division scoring race through the first three games with five points (2g-3a).
