Weyburn

Josh Sale tipped a point shot from Dallen Oxelgren just over five minutes into overtime to give the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings a berth in the SJHL finals. The goal gave the Red Wings a 3-2 win in the game and a 4-2 win in the series over the Flin Flon Bombers. 

"I just saw the shot coming and realized I probably needed to deflect it," Sale said of the series-winning goal. "I deflected it in, and I kind of blacked out for a second, then realized we won. It's kind of the best feeling in the world."

Last week we wrapped up Crack the Vault driven by Great Plains Motorsports. 

Despite the need to pay some bills, the thrill of a vacation, and the need for a haircut (thanks Bradley), no one managed to Crack the Vault and walk away with $100,000.
