Victoria, BC- The Victoria Royals will host the East Division leading Brandon Wheat Kings tomorrow night and the Tri-City Americans on Saturday, November 1st and Sunday November 2nd.  Tomorrow’s game is sponsored by Save-On-Foods while Saturday evening is Turn Back the Clock Night  and Sunday afternoon is Marty the Marmot’s birthday presented by Island Savings. Sunday’s game also marks the first Kirby’s Source for Sports’ Skate with the players after the game.

FILLING THE NET: With two goals in Saturday night’s 3-2 victory over the Vancouver Giants, Royals’ forward Austin Carroll is currently tied for first in WHL goal scoring with 10 goals in 13 games. The Calgary Flames’ draft pick has 19 points (10g-9a) in 13 games to lead Victoria in scoring.

SO FAR SO GOOD- Since moving to Vancouver Island the Victoria Royals are 3-0-0-0 when facing the Brandon Wheat Kings, with two of the games needing extra time. Last season the Royals defeated the Wheat Kings 5-3 in Brandon, with goals from current players Tyler Soy, Austin Carroll, and Keegan Kanzig. In Brandon’s only visit to the Island, on October 23, 2012, Victoria edged the Wheat Kings 4-3 in overtime.
