Royals light the lamp against the Seven Oaks Flames

Before the game there was a lot of talk about how the Seven Oaks team was going to be great just because they came down to A1. But the Royals did not back down. Period 1: The flames score the first goal twenty seconds into the game. The Royals answer back after Blaise slips one by the goalie from outside the blue line with the leading pass from Derrick and Trent. Shortly after, Derrick scores a goal from the point after a great faceoff win from Jordan. Period 2: Joel opens up the scoring for the Royals in the second after burying a rebound set up by Jordan and Kyle. But the flames answer back with a quick shot on the slow side on Brandon, cutting the Royals lead to two. Jordan ups the lead back to three after tucking in the rebound created by Derrick and Alex. 5-2 Royals! Third period. Zach makes it a four goal lead after burying the puck top self thanks to passes from Shane and Derrick. Shorty after Alex scores a quick one timer from the point on the power play after a draw win from Blaise and passed over by Cody P. On the very next power play Joel scores a breakaway goal by slipping the puck through the goaltenders five-hole, the lead pass for the breakaway was given by Jordan. Brandon stood strong in the third period allowing no goals past him and covering up every loose puck that he could backstopping the Royals to a 7-2 win. Key points: Once the Royals noticed the Seven Oaks Flames were a slower team, they turned up the speed and started sprinting down the ice.The flames couldn't stop them and lost because of it.

After a hard fought preseason game the day before, The Royals were looking for retribution. A. West had the Royals number in two of the three games last year. They were not pretty. This year though the Royals were looking to turn things around even while missing three defense men. First Period. The Predators had the first shot of the game, a breakaway but was stopped by Nick. The puck was then was taken down the ice by Derrick. Who took a great point shot and Joel crashed the net and put in the first goal and powerplay goal for the Royals on the season at just two minutes and eleven seconds into the game. Shortly after Jordan wins a draw and passes it over to Cody P., who fires off a quick wrist shot on A West. goalies five hole for is first as a River East Royal and makes it 2-0.

Under three minutes after that Shane tucks in the puck from close range to score his first goal on the year on the powerplay that was set up by Jordan and Derrick. The Predators scored three goals in the final twelve minutes of the game but it was not even close to beat the rage'nRoyals with a final score of 7-3. Key Points: The new players to the team this year were absolutely amazing. Accounting for five of the royals seven goals, and the penalty kill left the Predators speechless after holding them to 0/8 on the powerplay! The only thing that would have made the game perfect was fewer penalties and not laying back on a lead, but hockey is not and never will be a perfect game. Three stars 1,2 and 3 Everybody!
