For the second game, The task seemed difficult as they were facing the Richmond Hill Rams without their Ace d-man Rylan Henly who was serving the first of two games in his suspension for fighting. None the less, Steve McCharles motivated the Royals who got one heck of a quick start taking the lead 4-0. However the lack of discipline hurt the Royals who saw their lead reduced to two goals. If it wasn't for the solid performance of Guillaume Piché in net the match could've certainly taken a turn for the worst. Finally, the Royals were able to hold on and take it by a score of 5-2.
