Notes:

Quick Strike: Tonight, Tarun Fizer opened the scoring just nine seconds into the first period. Fizer's tally tied the franchise record for the quickest goal to open a game, which had previously occurred on two occasions. Those goals were scored by Royals' alumnus Taylor Crunk on March 8, 2014 against the Kamloops Blazers and by former Chilliwack Bruin Ryan Howse on January 9, 2011 vs. the Seattle Thunderbirds.

High Scoring Start: To begin tonight's contest, the Royals opened scoring two goals on their first two shots of the game. The Chiefs responded by scoring on their first shot of the contest as well.

A Night of Firsts: There was a pair of firsts in tonight's contest for the Royals. Defenceman Remy Aquilon recorded his first career WHL point, with an assist on Brandon Cutler's goal. Meanwhile, forward Sean Gulka registered his first points as a Royal, all assists, in his first game against his former team.

Spreading the Wealth: Tonight's game saw 10 different Royals find the scoresheet, as six of those skaters tallied multiple points.

Team WHL: This evening's game marked the first match-up between Victoria's Scott Walford, and Spokane's Ty Smith since they played as teammates for Team WHL in the CIBC Canada Russia Super Series earlier this week.

Up Next: The Victoria Royals finish their back-to-back set against the Spokane Chiefs tomorrow in the club's annual Canadian Forces Appreciation Night. For tomorrow's game, the Royals will wear special commemorative jerseys with the CFB Esquimalt crest on them. These jerseys will be auctioned through a live post-game auction with proceeds supporting Boomer's Legacy, and The Royal Canadian Legion.
