Head coach and GM Dan Price is tempering comparisons to last year's top scorer Bailey Peach: “We need to be careful about making huge comparisons like that”
Some might say it’s too early to make the comparison. But is Jake Poole set to become the Bailey Peach of the 2022-23 Victoria Royals season? Peach was the off-the-waiver-wire steal from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League who seemed to come out of nowhere in the Atlantic mist to lead the Royals in scoring last season with 37 goals and 78 points.
The point-a-game pace would get the six-foot-two, 200-pound winger to 68 points, which a team like the Royals that struggles on offence, would gladly take. The most impressive statistic, however, might be that Poole is plus-4 on a Victoria team that is only 3-10-2 and has been outscored 62-38. Meanwhile, another Royals trade in the opposite direction appears to be working out for six-foot-three defenceman Nolan Bentham. He came as a touted hometown Victoria product to the Royals as the 13th overall selection in the first round of the 2018 WHL prospects draft.
