Victoria, BC- The Western Hockey League today announced that Victoria Royals’ goaltender Coleman Vollrath has been nominated by the WHL for the Vaughn CHL Goaltender of the Week.

The 6-0, 170 lb netminder from Calgary, AB appeared in two games for the Royals this past week and registered a 2-0-0-0 record with a 1.50 goals against average (GAA), a 0.944 save percentage (SV%).

In Saturday’s 5-1 win versus the Spokane Chiefs, the 1995-born goaltender tied former Royal goaltender Patrik Polivka for most victories in club history at 56.
