The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are coming home with a split in the opening weekend of the Canterra Seeds Cup Final against the Melfort Mustangs. After a tight 2-1 win in Game 1 on Saturday night, the Red Wings were shut out 3-0 in Game 2 on Sunday. 

Head Coach and General Manager Cody Mapes said his team didn't bring the same level of intensity in the second game of the series. 

Jerome Maharaj had a goal and an assist, and Ethan Dekay scored the game winner, as the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings took the first game of the Canterra Seeds Cup with a 2-1 victory over the Melfort Mustangs Saturday night.

"I think Angelo (Zol) made sure that we had a chance to continue to get better," Red Wings head coach Cody Mapes said after the game. "He did his job in the first period, and just kind of allowed us to settle in a little bit. There were definitely some nerves, and a little bit of good goaltending was the recipe we needed there to start."

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."
