In October, the Victoria Royals began its ‘Hockey For All’ game series. On Oct. 20, the club had a particular focus on raising awareness and support for the 2SLGTBQIA+ community, an initiative they continue to build on after they partnered with the Victoria Pride Society (VPS) at the Victoria Pride Festival in July.
