Week 2 of the Royals AA Quarterfinals matchup vs. Minto got underway on the road in Palmerston Friday night with an 8:30 puck drop.
In the battle of road warriors, this series has yet to see either team win on home ice. Following a grueling 3 game schedule, the Royals take 2 out of 3 games and a 3-2 series lead behind the steadfast goaltending of #30 Jensen van Boekel who played out all 3 games over the weekend.
The Royals return to home ice Saturday Feb 18th at 7:30pm in Tavistock with the chance to finish off the series and book a rematch with Seaforth in the AA Semi-finals. Game 7 (if needed) goes Monday at 2pm in Palmerston. Our drivethru Pork BBQ will run before the game 4:30-6:30, so come grab a meal and head to the blueline! 1
