WOW, it's been a long time. What a season and what a year but most importantly what is going on with our world. I hope and pray that everyone is healthy and is finding a way to get better - more mentally than physically. In the little picture of what has happened. We had one of our best teams in years. The balance with all 23 players, leadership and great guys to be around will always stand out for this group. We weren't able to compete, so we couldn't accomplish our goals, has been a real punch it the gut (safety first). Thanks to our graduating players Colton Broomhall 3 seasons, Ethan Martinson and Devin Cooney 2 seasons, they always were leaders and found ways to make us better every night. Thanks Guys. This season we won the leagues Challenge Cup for finishing 1st overall in the regular season. We haven't had our name on this trophy since 1998-1999 when we were know as the Doug's Place Edmonton Royals (we had a team sponsor for 2 seasons). Our group made coming to the rink fun, even if some of them didn't like coming to practice. Our off ice crew were outstanding and thanks for all you did, from cleaning jersey's, selling 50/50's, working the gate (even when your son wasn't playing), running the clock and playing music - with a cool announcing voice and going to meetings. Everyone picked up some slack that someone else couldn't do but most importantly (cause I forget things) covering up any mistakes that I may have made. Royals Hockey is Fun, not always perfect but Fun. Wins and losses always equal up. But our group of players got smarter, better and matured as young men. They will be as asset's to our society in life and that is the big WIN we are looking for. They will be the Royalamainiacs that I tell future teams about (ya I'm coming back - sorry I guess you were wrong to say that about me - you know who you are). I'm not forgetting about our staff, everybody does something that makes us better (Including Dennis is the stands). Our coaches found a way to help us improve every day (conversations that aren't heard by the entire rink to ref's or private player talks, that are nobody's business - happen). We want to carry ourselves in a mature classy way, be respectfull and give respect, those are great words. Harry made our dealings with Hockey Alberta perfect, some teams always seem to have problems with that organization, we never do. Kate is wonderful and takes the worry out of player health - her baking is on point as well. Kevin was a wealth of information about players and bringing new guys into the lineup (just another thing off my plate). Nathan's attitude and Peter's smarts have added tons oh ya their sweat equity in practice gets notice by everyone. Darrell can keep a gate loose and confused at the same time but John's calm demeanor gave us time to think. They all make my job easier. THANKS TO EVERYONE. I'm a little late in posting this but our league has shut down due to COVID-19 concerns. I will post later but for now the season is over. Game 4 was a 4-5 Loss, there is no joy in Mudville but we live to play another day. Ethan Martinson welcomed himself back into the lineup with 2 goals, Nick Botros and Daniel Liberty scored the others. Assists to Mason Shukalak (2), Jaymon Mathew, Owen Salacki, Timon Mueller, Daniel Liberty and Blair Bush. Shots 44-37. PP 1-2 and PK 1-3. We fought till the end but some mental mistakes cost us big time. We must not beat ourselves and shoot the puck in the open net. Our Write-In Royalamainiac was Derek McWhinnie. (6). The good guys prevail in Game 3 by the score of 2-0. Mason Shukalak scored the winner and Devin Cooney into the empty net. With Nick Orsini, Evan Klutke, Nick Botros and Ethan Land assisting. Shots 48-34, PP 0-2 and PK 4-4. We got a couple guys back into the lineup our speed game picked up a bit more. The games are very close and very intense, with all the fun stuff that makes up playoff hockey. The Belt was awarded to Mason Shukalak and (for the 1st time ever, a brother act on Belt and Write-In) and Our Write-In Royalamainiac was Taylor Shukalak. (6).

Assisting Blair Bush (3), Timon Mueller, Nick Botros, Gavin Olito, Daniel Liberty and Jaymon Mathew. Shots 37-46, PP 1-6 and PK 6-8. The little hiccups hurt us at both ends, we could have scored and shouldn't have been scored against. We will fix that. The old faces in the crowd are great to see, keep up the good work Royalamainiacs. Our Write-In Royalamainiac was Mik Mykietyshyn. (7). We overcame a very and I mean very slow start, to tie things up in the 3rd but a goofy call put us shorthanded and we gave up the game winner. Final 3-4 in Double Overtime. We got goals from Colton Broomhall, Nick Botros and Ethan Land with Nolan Conroy, Nick Botros, Mason Shukalak, Timon Mueller, Nick Orsini and Kayden DePaoli the assists. Shots 45-46, PP 1-6 and PK 4-5. Coach Russ always says 60-60-60 and we need to bring it from the drop of the puck in the 1st period. We are earning all those bruises and they are the plays that will get us to where we want to go. Our Write-In Royalamainiac was Liam Skitch. (7). Ya Baby, put it it the win column - 4-0 to clinch the series 3 games to 2. The real Royals showed up.

Our Write-In Royalamainiac was Tyler Bates. (7). Another long night, Double Overtime again, with the good guys winning 4-3.

Assists to Mason Shukalak, Ethan Martinson, Daniel Liberty (2), Ethan Land, Lucas Pringle (2) and Timon Mueller. Shots 39-36, PP 1-5 and PK 6-7. We played through a lot of stuff and finally realized that nothing sticks to us, we are Teflon. Relaxing and playing hard are great words of wisdom. Once we get the stress out of our system we will be fine. Our Write-In Royalamainiac was Kody DePaoli. (8). The outcome wasn't there as we lost game 3, 4-5 in Double Overtime.

Setting them up were Daniel Liberty, Nick Orsini (2), Ethan Martinson, Blair Bush, Shawn Kempster (2) and Will Kulmatycki. Shots 36-34, PP 1-2 and PK 3-4. The pace was fast and hard, just the way we like it. Those little things, that count so much, we are just a couple inches away from doing them. We will stretch out a bit more and be successful. Our Write-In Royalamainiac was Tate Geiger. (9). We came to play Royals Hockey and took home the win 4-2 in Game 2.

Game 1 didn't go as planned (our hands will be back) 1-3. Ethan Martinson scored our goal from Nick Orsini. Shots 45-33, PP 0-5 and PK 2-3. The open nets we created and we will shoot the puck in them, we just didn't do that last night. Staying focused and relaxed will help. Our Write-In Royalamainiac was Ryan Rosich. (10). Our regular season ended with a win and solid effort - 10-3 against Fort Sask.

With the win we ended the regular season with the most points in our division and the league. We played for the 2 points and got them, 8-4 vs Wetaskiwin.

Coming off a collision with the post to score the game winner, Gavin Olito was awarded the Belt. Our hands were a little snake bit and we lost 1-2 out in St. Albert. Kayden DePaoli scored our goal from Mason Shukalak and Will Kulmatycki. Shots 31-32 (don't think this is correct) PP 0-6 and PK 7-7. The game was a combination of goofy things that always start with Stefan B...., but we needed a couple inches on our shots or .... ah shoot we don't like to lose.

The cold weather is still here and we are still heating up the rinks as we skated to a 5-4 win against the Knights. We scored a bunch of goals in a short period of time in the 1st but not many after.

Jaymon Mathew scored both our goals from Ethan Martinson and Owen Salacki. Shots 48-26, PP 0-6 and PK 2-3. We started slow and got better for the last 2 periods and OT but decided to shoot high and wide instead of quick and on net. We keep making good steps towards our year end goals, lets hope the lessons we are getting, right now, stay with us and we continue to learn from what has happened so far in the season. We had another successful game before a return to J R's, for a post game pop with the boys, 2-1 was the final against the Flyers.

With all the old refs we have been getting you would think we were back in the 90's, adjusting to them is the way to win. Lots of speed and a great forecheck led the way.

All our goals came in the 3rd period from Bobby Lamont (his 1st as a Royal), Nick Orsini and Kayden DePaoli. Setting the boys up were Nick Orsini, Kayden DePaoli, Mason Shukalak, Jaymon Mathew, Nolan Conroy and Gavin Olito. Shots 40-39, PP 1-4 and PK 10-11. Yes that was the penalty totals, unbelievable that on every, sort of scrum, we came out of it shorthanded. But we did a pretty good job of staying focussed and a great job of killing them off. Winning ugly is good. The Belt went to Brayden Evans. Back on the win column by skating (but not hitting) to a 13-3 victory vs Spruce Grove. Lots of goals with Will Kulmatycki (4) getting us started, Gavin Olito, Nolan Conroy, Timon Mueller, Evan Klutke (2), Hayden Dowson (2) {his 1st as a Royal}, Nick Botros and Shawn Kempster.

We made a little step forward and it was cool to see how everyone contributed. The Belt was awarded to Nolan Conroy. We played fast and shot the puck into pads in our 3-5 loss against Fort Sask. We got goals from Colton Broomhall and Kayden DePaoli (2) with assists to Ethan Martinson, Lucas Conroy-Dutton, Nick Botros (2) and Evan Klutke. Shots 40-39, PP 0-3 and PK 3-3. Our bench stayed focused and came from behind to tie the game up in the 3rd but had a little laps to give up the winner that was followed up by an empty netter. The good things keep happening for us without the finish around the net. We will keep pushing the speed game and make it happen. That wasn't the result we wanted as we fall 3-5 to the Riggers. Ethan Martinson scored 2 goals with Will Kulmatycki the other. Assists to Shawn Kempster (2) and Gavin Olito (2). Shots 46-20, PP 0-3 and PK 5-7. We had thought that our problems of past seasons were in the past, but they all came out when the calls went the other way. This lack of mental toughness sucks. After a very emotional Ceremony for Tyler we skated hard and focussed in a convincing 6-2 win against the Chiefs. Ethan Martinson shot a puck that ended up in the net for the 1st goal of the night. Jaymon Mathew, Blair Bush, Will Kulmatycki (2) and Timon Mueller finished the scoring. Assisting the goals Nick Orsini (2), Colton Broomhall, Mason Shukalak (4), Will Kulmatycki, Cam MacPhee, Jaymon Mathew (2) and Owen Salacki. Shots 46-30, PP 1-4 and PK 2-2. Both Nick and Timon spoke in the Ceremony and used that extra boost from their friend in the game. We have a very disciplined club to start the season and hard to play against - this is fun to see. The Belt went to Timon. Our season started with a bang and a 4-3 win over the Red Wings. It was a very fast paced game that had all the fun stuff that makes hockey great. Jaymon Mathew scored our 1st goal of the season - Mason Shukalak, Will Kulmatycki and with the game winner Devin Cooney. Assists to Cam MacPhee (2), Blair Bush, Jaymon Mathew, Mason Shukalak and Nick Botros. Shots on goal 42-29, PP 1-3 and PK 3-3. Lots of hits and speed highlighted the game. Then a big penalty kill with 6 minutes to go that we followed up by potting 2 goals in 22 seconds to earn the win. The trip North was a success. The Belt was awarded to Brayden Evans. Pre Season is done - 2 wins 2 losses. The boys played hard, got better and fought for spots and ice time. The real fun starts on Wednesday, let's go. #groab. We took a little step forward in our 3-4 loss last night. The things that we forgot hurt us in the offensive zone but the play got faster as the game went on. Some of our same problems showed up for the last half of the game and we will fix those. The 1st week is in the books. Things look good and we got better each skate. Speed Kills. Camp starts in 2 weeks, do some pushups and great ready for a fun ride.
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
