Victoria Royals acquire WHL scoring leader Savin Virk from Tri-City Published 10:55 am Monday, August 24, 2026 The Victoria Royals have acquired forward Savin Virk from the Tri-City Americans in exchange for forward Eli McKamey and several draft picks. Virk, 19, joins the Royals after leading the Americans in goals, assists and points last season. The Surrey product recorded 27 goals and 38 assists for 65 points in 66 games during the 2025-26 Western Hockey League season. Originally selected by Tri-City in the third round of the 2022 WHL Prospects Draft, Virk has 111 points, including 49 goals and 62 assists, in 116 career WHL games. “Savin has proven to be a top player in this league, and we expect him to be a big part of our team,” said general manager Jake Heisinger in a statement. “Adding a player of his calibre to our group is an important move for us.” In return, Victoria sends McKamey, a 2009-born forward from Cowichan Bay, to Tri-City. McKamey played 48 games for the Royals last season, recording six goals and 11 assists for 17 points. McKamey was selected by Victoria in the second round, 35th overall, of the 2024 WHL Prospects Draft. “Eli is a very good young player that has a bright career in front of him,” Heisinger said. “In making this move, Eli will have the opportunity to play an offensive role in his draft year.”
