Weekend Preview: November 9th-11th, 2024
After a brief homestand, the Victoria Royals are back on the road this weekend as they face the Seattle Thunderbirds and Kamloops Blazers. The trip begins in Seattle on Saturday, November 9th, at the accesso ShoWare Center with puck drop scheduled for 6:05.
Friday’s match will be the first of five games between the Royals and Thunderbirds this season. In five games last year, the Royals grabbed two wins over the Thunderbirds in addition to earning a point in a 3-2 shootout loss on February, 2nd.
This will be the longest road trip for the Royals this season, as they play nine games spanning from November 9th to 27th. Following their trip to Seattle, the team will face off against the Blazers for the third matchup in four games between the two sides. A trip through Alberta and a visit to Everett will close out the nearly month-long road trip.
