All good things must come to an end 4-7 in game 3 of the series. All our goals came on the PP with Derek McWhinnie (2) and Mason Shukalak (2) doing the scoring. Assists went to Nick Orsini, Gavin Olito (2), Shawn Kempster, Kody DePaoli and Liam Skitch. Shots 30-48, PP 4-7 and PK 1-1. We fought hard all series and this game was no exception. The biggest thing was our inability to shoot the puck into the wide open spots in the net after we had created the scoring chance. Part of the that was Wetaskiwin's team defense. In this game we overcame a sloppy first part of the 2nd period and tied the game up in the middle of the 3rd. We created the chances but they closed the door with a couple late goals. Good luck to the Icemen!! This also spells the end of our 21 year olds career's and start of their new positions of being Beauty Royalamainiacs. Brenden (I spelt it right) Klutke, Liam Skitch, Ryan Rosich and Logan Walters were great Royals and a lot of fun to have on the team for their 4 seasons. They all added something different to the mix with their skill's. We will miss them on the ice. (10). Rats 2-5 loss in 2. Shawn Kempster and Ryan Rosich scored our goals with Taylor Shields (2) and Christian Chorney (2) the assists. Shots 28-37, PP 0-5 and PK 3-3. We are creating the goals opportunities but not putting the puck in the net ('why don't you go to your home puck - don't you like your home'). The games are fast and hard, we need to continue to pressure but finish our chances. Our Write-in Royalamainiac was Brad Dufresne. (10). We didn't get the result we wanted in game 1 as we fell 2-6. Our goals came from Derek McWhinnie and Brenden Klutke with assists to Brenden Klutke, Gavin Olito and Derek McWhinnie. Shots 48-33, PP 1-8 and PK 2-3. We played hard and need to score on the Blue Plate chances we create. (That has nothing to do with a certain blue haired coach that used to be with the River Kings). Our Write-in Royalamainiac was Mitch Cunningham. (10). The series came to a close in convincing fashion with a 8-1 win. Brenden Klutke started the game where he left off game 2 with the 1st of the game then Liam Skitch took over with a hat trick, Mason Shukalak (2), Derek McWhinnie and Taylor Shields rounded out the scoring. Setting up the goals Derek McWhinnie, Shawn Kempster (2), Logan Walters (3), Phil Couture, Nick Orsini, Kody DePaoli, Brenden Klutke (2), Taylor Shields, Will Kulmatycki and Colton Broomhall. Shots 52-23, PP 3-7 and PK 2-3. Maybe the 2 teams played each other too many times this season (pre season, reg season, playoffs) cause they weren't happy with each other and it showed on the number of penalties being taken. Belt to Skitch. Write-in Royalamainiac was Taylor Shukalak. (10). Thanks to our Captain we win game 2 in a 4-3 skatefest. Brenden Klutke set up the first 2 goals and scored the game winner with 15 seconds to go. Logan Walters, Shawn Kempster and Taylor Shields scored and assists went to Derek McWhinnie (2), Mason Shukalak (2), Christian Chorney and Nick Orsini. Shots 33-32, PP 0-4 and PK 5-5. We played hard but not always smart. Good things happen when we keep the bad guys to the outside and we drive to the net without the puck. On to game 3. Brenden got the belt and Andy Fox was the Write-in Royalamainiac. (11). Game 1 didn't end the way we planned it as we lost 3-4. Our goal scorers were Ryan Rosich ( I thought it was Skitch), Mason Shukalak and Derek McWhinnie. With assists to Liam Skitch, Ayden Justice-Riar, Timon Mueller (2) and Logan Walters. Shots 46-18, PP 0-3 and PK 3-3. It's been said before but we are a way better team when we have a full roster. Playoffs also mean suck it up and play through all the shit. James Patterson was the Write-in Royalamainiac. (12). 1ST GAME OF THE PLAYOFFS WILL BE FRIDAY FEBRUARY 9 - 8:00 @ CONFED VS Sherwood Park - Game 2 Monday 8:30 @ Sherwood Park - Game 3 Wednesday 8:00 @ Confed.

This was a fast paced game with us creating multiple chances that didn't cross the goal line. The belt was awarded to Tate Geiger. The score was very flattering to us, as we skated like a group that had better things to do than come to practice this week. This equals a 2-6 loss to Fort Sask. Taylor Shields (unassisted cause the ref didn't pay attention and asked the bench instead of his linesmen), and Logan Walters scored our goals, from Brenden Klutke and Kody DePaoli.

Shots on goals were kind of sketchy but this is what the game sheet says 21-38, PP 1-3 and PK 5-5. We played our normal game when we have a full lineup - fast and hard - playoff hockey. The belt went to Shawn Kempster - then the boys went off to the New Guy Party. Or as some remember it as Dryland Training. Our trip north was unsuccessful with a 4-6 loss to the Red Wings.

We got on the forecheck and forced turnovers, which was good. Then we passed to the bad guys and let them behind us, which was bad. But we scored and kept the puck out of the net, which was what we came for - 2 points. Timon Mueller was awarded the belt. It was a good weekend (sweep) as we skated to a 6-3 win against Beaumont.

The big ice on the North Side wasn't our friend as we fell 1-5 to the Warriors. Evan Klutke scored from Mason Shukalak. Shots 27-39, PP 0-2 and PK 4-6.

Ya that's correct we talked our way into the box that many times. When we skated we were fun to watch and fast, lets play that way for 60. The belt went to Phil with his 1st shutout. The weekend sweep was sweet, with our 4-2 win over the Knights. Mason Shukalak (his 1st as a Royal) scored on the PP with Taylor Shields PP, Will Kulmatycki (His 1st as a Royal) and Nick Orsini into the empty net the rest.

We got a little aggressive in the offensive zone that gave up some transition offense. But they were continually denied by Phil Couture (belt was awarded to Phil). Another Epic Royals Golf Tournament. The world is back to normal as I came in at 1 under and don't think anyone was close. The talk got loud and funny as the day went on. Lets get ready for Friday! We traveled north to play the Red Wings and came home happy with a 6-4 win. A bunch of guys played their 1st game in a visor and they didn't slow down. 8-3 was the final against Sherwood Park. We played the game with 4 officials and it was quite a tame game but there were a ton of penalties. Most of them were 10's and mostly trying to settle down frisky kids. And Game 3 wasn't as inspired as the first 2 games and we fell 2-4 to St. Albert. Camp is coming along very good and the decisions will be hard. Game 2 didn't go as planned as we lost 2-3 to the Warriors. Game 1 of the preseason was a success, we skated and bumped our way to a 4-3 win against the Knights. Lots of new guys in the lineup and they played fast.
THIS WAS THE COMMERCIAL THAT WE DID FOR COKE ZERO in 2013. THE ROYALS WERE THE STARS, WITH EXTRA'S JORDAN EBERLE, DAN O'TOOLE, JAY ONRAIT AND CABBIE. IT WAS PROBABLY A BIG DEAL FOR THOSE YOUNG SPORTS STARS. JUST TO SAY ONE DAY I GOT TO SPEND IT WITH THE EDMONTON ROYALS!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhrV76j7lRg&feature=youtu.be http://www.youtube.com/momentzero
