Get ready to celebrate, Victoria!
The Victoria Royals are gearing up to celebrate a beloved member of their team, and it’s not a player or coach— it’s their lovable mascot, Marty the Marmot!
Born in 2006, this furry friend has been a source of endless entertainment and joy for fans young and old. And tonight, the Royals are pulling out all the stops to celebrate their mascot’s birthday in style.
The puck drop for this exciting matchup between the Victoria Royals and the Swift Current Broncos is set for 6:05 p.m., Saturday, October 14th, but the real party starts well before the players hit the ice.
Doors open at 5 p.m., and for early birds, there’s even more fun to be had. At 4 p.m., the outside plaza will come alive with a tempting array of food and $5 beers, making it the perfect pre-game hangout.
But the celebration doesn’t end with just food and drinks.
The Royals have planned a host of exciting activities and surprises for fans of all ages. The birthday bash will feature face painters, adding a splash of color to fans’ game-day attire.
And what’s a birthday without cake? There’s a delicious cake waiting for the kids to enjoy!
In true birthday party spirit, the mascot’s friends will be joining in on the fun.
Look out for other community mascots from UVIC, Camosun, and Rockheights Middle School, who will bring their own unique flair to the party. But that’s not all—there’s potential for even more exciting surprises to keep everyone on their toes.
