Super Soy - Victoria's Tyler Soy set the franchise record for most career post-season goals with his 17th playoff tally tonight. Soy, who played in his 45th post-season game, passed alumnus Jack Walker's mark of 15 goals that he set in 38 playoff contests from 2013-2017. Soy (17g-14a) also tied Walker (14g-17a) for the most post-season points in franchise history.

Record Setter - With a goal and four assists, Victoria forward Dante Hannoun set the franchise record for most points in a single playoff game.

Toss the Hats - Royals' forward Tyler Soy scored three goals in his first game since March 17th for his first career WHL Playoff hat-trick.

The most recent playoff hat-trick for Victoria came from Greg Chase in Game 5 of the 2015 WHL Playoffs against the Prince George Cougars.
