This weekend, the Victoria Royals are set to visit the Seattle Thunderbirds at the accesso ShoWare Center with puck drop slated for 7:05 pm on Friday, Jan. 24. The following night, the Royals will play host to the Swift Current Broncos at 6:05 pm at the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre.

Friday's contest will mark the sixth meeting between the Royals and Thunderbirds this season, with Victoria holding a 2-2-1 record. The last time these two sides met came in Seattle on Jan. 7, and saw the Royals earn a commanding 4-1 win. 2005-born forward Teydon Trembecky netted two goals in the match for his third multi-goal effort this season.

The Royals are amid their hottest stretch of the 2024-25 season, posting a record of 8-1-0-1 in their past 10 games. Last weekend, they swept a two-game series against the Kamloops Blazers with back-to-back 7-1 victories. Newly acquired winger Kenta Isogai made a noticeable impact, scoring three goals over the series.
