I would like to start off my first post of the year with one simple word. Welcome. Welcome to the first edition of my Royal Rumble series. Welcome to the 2021-22 Victoria Royals season, and after 580 long days, welcome back to the Save On Foods Memorial Centre. On […]
In the second game of the Royals’ season, it was the Price George Cougars who came away with the two points. This one felt like a loss that was snatched from the jaws of victory. Victoria was hoping to prove the doubters wrong after a performance Friday that was […]
On March 16th the Victoria Royals released their 2021 roster. For an abbreviated “bubble season”, Head Coach and General Manager Dan Price has made a bold choice. With a forward group that averages just 5-foot-10 and a defense corp that averages 5-foot-11, he has chosen a relatively small group. […]
Searching high and low for a way to cover a variety of Victoria Royals topics in one article. Behold the Royal Rumblings. This will be a series to cover small stories from throughout the season as well as the off-season. It has been a quiet few weeks for the […]

A product of Rodovre, Denmark, he was chosen 38th overall by the Royals in the 2018 Canadian Hockey League […]
This past weekend the Okanagan Hockey Group put on a WHL Development Combine in Victoria, BC. In a world where life seems to be an endless supply of new restrictions and procedures these days, for one weekend on Vancouver Island the world of youth hockey seemed relatively normal. Kids […]
The Victoria Royals have had decent success with players getting drafted to the NHL. With 10 in 11 years, averaging almost one draft pick per year is respectable. Every team has its concept of what it is looking for in a player. Early round picks are typically “best player […]
The WHL has seen its share of future NHL talent patrolling the blue line over the years, from Shea Weber to Tyson Barrie and believe it or not, everyone’s favorite GM around these parts, Jim Benning. Solid offensive defensemen can put a marginal team over the top into contending […]
The Royal Family – Where are they now? While one might think this is about Prince Harry or William, or whomever else the tabloids love to write about, this is a hockey site after all… This is about a family, a team, a bond that is hard to break no […]
