Victoria Royals Tickets

Victoria Royals

Home ice on Vancouver Island has belonged to this club since 2011, when the relocated Chilliwack Bruins took the name Royals and settled into downtown Victoria. Royal blue, silver, black, and white have marked the sweater ever since, worn by a roster built on speed and puck movement rather than size. General manager Jake Heisinger and head coach James Patrick now guide a young group looking to bounce back from a rough finish. Find tickets for the Royals at Event Tickets Center.

WHL Western

The Royals play in the B.C. Division of the WHL's Western Conference, a group filled with short flights and ferry rides to every rival. None of those matchups carries the weight of the series against the Kelowna Rockets, a rivalry sharper than the geographic one with Vancouver. Forward Matthew Phillips still holds the franchise scoring record, with 112 points in 2017-18 that helped define the Royals' early identity. Victoria finished 28-30-6-4 for 66 points in 2025-26, missing the playoffs by two points, and the WHL standings will be worth watching early this season as the club looks to climb back into the race.

Victoria Royals at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre

Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre has anchored hockey on Blanshard Street since opening in 2005, replacing the aging rink locals once called the Barn on Blanshard. Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre seats just over 7,000 for hockey, making it one of the larger buildings in the league and one of the loudest when the Royals are rolling. The arena once hosted junior hockey's longest game on record, a five-overtime marathon still remembered around town. Fans can check the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre seating chart before picking seats for an upcoming game.

Victoria Royals Schedule

Victoria's 2026-27 schedule runs the WHL's full 68-game slate, mixing division games against B.C. rivals with trips east to Alberta and Saskatchewan. The Royals and the Rockets meet eight times this season, a rivalry that keeps intensifying as both clubs chase playoff position. Don't miss the home-and-home set against Kelowna on October 23 and 24, 2026, one of the season's early tests in that rivalry. A stretch of road games through the Prairie provinces breaks up the schedule before the Royals settle back in at home..

Victoria Royals Ed Chynoweth Cup Playoffs

No team from Vancouver Island has ever lifted the Ed Chynoweth Cup, even with the league's top regular-season record in 2015-16. Their deepest playoff runs have reached the second round several times since joining the league in 2011, most recently in 2025, when Victoria fell in six games to the Spokane Chiefs. Last season's near miss, two points short of a playoff spot, was followed by a wave of roster turnover this offseason, leaving the Royals to retool for 2026-27 rather than simply run back last year's group.
