Victoria B.C. - This weekend, the Victoria Royals will host the Spokane Chiefs for a two-game series. It begins on Friday, March 7, at the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre with puck drop slated for 7:05 pm. The clubs will meet again the following night at 6:05 pm.

The two-game series marks the final matchup between the Royals and Chiefs this regular season. The Royals hold a 1-1-0-0 record against Spokane with their last meeting coming on February 8th in Spokane, WA. The match saw Victoria take a 5-4 overtime win with the game-winning goal from Justin Kipkie, and a four point performance by Kenta Isogai.

Last weekend, the Royals swept their two-game series against the Portland Winterhawks, earning four points. They kicked off the two game set with a 6-5 overtime victory and followed up with a 4-3 win on Saturday. With his 17th goal of the season, Keaton Verhoeff took hold of third all time for goals scored in the WHL by a 16-year-old defenseman in a season, with the most since 1984-85.
