Coaching Connection: Royals' head coach Dan Price was a scout for the Regina Pats, while current Raiders' General Manager Cutis Hunt served as head coach from 2004-06.

Back in Town: Victoria forward Carson Miller made his first appearance against his former team tonight. The 2000-born Miller recorded 47 points (20g-27a) in 156 career games played for the club. Prince Albert drafted Miller in the first round, 21st overall in the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft.
