Weyburn Red Wings

Ty Matonovich picked up the win in his first start as a Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings, and Jerome Maharaj scored twice as the Red Wings skated to a 6-1 victory on home ice Tuesday night, defeating the Notre Dame Hounds. 

“I was feeling great,” Matonovich said after the game. “I saw every shot, and D played great, the boys played great, and we outscored them. That’s all you can ask for at that point.” 

Another week, another honour for one of the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings. Angelo Zol was named the SJHL’s Goalie of the Week after his performance in three games last week.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings scored early, and often, as they routed the La Ronge Ice Wolves 8-2 at Crescent Point Place Saturday night. Max Chakrabarti scored a pair of goals, and Jerome Maharaj entered the record books en route to the victory, which came the day after Weyburn's five-game winning streak was halted by the Melville Millionaires.

"We talked last night, and this morning, about being a team that if the Weyburn Red Wings are going to lose a game, you don't want to be the next team to play them," head coach Cody Mapes said after the game.

The Melville Millionaires would take advantage of a slow start from the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings, and held on to a slim lead to pick up a 3-1 win Friday night. The loss would end the five-game winning streak of the Red Wings, but they continue to hold first place in the Viterra Division after the Yorkton Terriers fell against the Melfort Mustangs.

Jadon Iyogun would open the scoring in the first period for Melville, as he beat Angelo Zol with 5:04 remaining in the first period. The first would see the Red Wings manage just five shots on goal, while Melville had 15.

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are back in first place in the Viterra Division after picking up a crucial win at home last night. They topped the La Ronge Ice Wolves 3-2 in a shootout at Crescent Point Place, moving one point up on the Yorkton Terriers.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are riding a four-game winning streak, and the efforts of two players over the past week were recognized by the SJHL on Monday.  

Forward Jerome Maharaj was named the SJHL’s Forward of the Week. The 04-born from Edmonton finished last week with five points – all assists – in two games as the Red Wings recorded wins over Yorkton and Notre Dame. So far this season, Maharaj has notched 43 points in 28 games and leads the league in assists with 35.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings came into the game Saturday night against the Notre Dame Hounds with a three-game winning streak. After 40 minutes, it appeared the Red Wings were in danger of having their streak snapped. Four goals in the third period would turn their fortunes around, and the Red Wings came away with a 6-4 victory, and first place in the Viterra Division. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings were looking to keep their winning streak alive Wednesday night as they entertained the Viterra Division-leading Yorkton Terriers at Crescent Point Place. Despite Yorkton having the majority of the chances early in the game, the Red Wings weathered the storm and skated to a 7-4 victory.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are now within three points of the Yorkton Terriers for 1st in the Viterra Division after picking up two crucial points over the Terriers Sunday afternoon in Yorkton. The Red Wings would come back from a 1-0 first period deficit to win 3-2.  

“I thought the guys battled hard,” head coach Cody Mapes said after the game. The team would spend the majority with a shortened bench after defenseman Simon Martin left 10 minutes into the game.  

In their first game back from the Christmas break, the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings came out with a statement game against their Highway 39 rivals, the Estevan Bruins. Playing at Affinity Place in Estevan, the Red Wings would get two goals in the first period, and then held on for a 3-0 victory - the second time the Wings have shut out the Bruins by that score this season. 

"We obviously hadn't played yet, and so it was good to see the guys get involved physically right away, and shake the rest off," head coach Cody Mapes said after the game.
