Weyburn Red Wings

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings were looking to extend their winning streak to three games Friday night when they took on the Notre Dame Hounds in Assiniboia. They would extend the streak, thanks to a hat trick by Liam Fitzgerald in the first period, and a lot of offense from all the lines, as they skated to a 7-1 win. 

"Fitzy's been good," head coach Cody Mapes said after the game. "He's got a scoring knack like that."

With the three goals Fitzgerald now leads the team with 12 points on the season. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings were looking to make it two wins in a row when they travelled to Melville to play the Millionaires Tuesday night. The Wings would take an early lead, and not look back, as they tripled the Millionaires 6-2, handing Melville their first loss in regulation for the season.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings had been waiting for the goals to come through the first four games of the season. Saturday night, they did come, in spades, as they tripled the Nipawin Hawks 6-2 at Crescent Point Place. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings were looking to bounce back from their 0-3 start Friday night as the Flin Flon Bombers came to town. Weyburn would jump out to lead in the first period, but the Bombers rallied, scoring four unanswered goals en route to a 4-2 victory. 

"The puck's not going in the net, but I do like a lot of the things that are going on," said head coach Cody Mapes after the game. "We've just got to find a way to make sure the puck's going in the net more often than they go in ours, and right now, that's not happening."

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings have been working to bolster the lineup this week, with a number of additions to the roster. Not all of the players coming in are necessarily new faces, however.  

It was rumoured to be a possibility before the SJHL season started. Two of the top forwards from the 2023-24 season, Jerome Maharaj and Jaxon Ruthven, would be coming back to the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings. In the offseason, Maharaj went to the Langley Rivermen of the BCHL, while Ruthven went south of the border and joined the Aberdeen Wings of the NAHL.

Wednesday afternoon, the Red Wings made the announcement - the pair were coming back to The Opportunity City. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings took a first period lead in their home opener with the Yorkton Terriers Sunday afternoon, but the visitors were keen to spoil the party, with the Terriers rallying back to escape Crescent Point Place with a 5-3 win. 

The loss at home comes after the Terriers skated to a 6-1 win over the Red Wings in the season opener in Yorkton Friday night.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings will open up their season tonight in Yorkton, taking on the Terriers in a Viterra Division matchup. Once again, you will be able to listen to all of the Red Wings games on Red Wing Radio, Country 106.7.  

However, this year, there will be a new voice calling the games, as Dylan Fiessel makes his debut in the booth.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings will start their quest for the Canterra Seeds Cup tonight in Yorkton against the Terriers, as the 2024-25 SJHL regular season begins.  

Coming into the season, head coach and general manager Cody Mapes is cautiously optimistic for the season.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings went into Estevan Saturday night looking to close out the 2024 preseason with a perfect record of 5-0. Despite outshooting the Bruins 36-33, Estevan was able to eke out a 3-2 win in overtime over the Red Wings. 

Estevan took the lead in the first period when Rory Elson scored an unassisted goal just 4:05 into the game. Then, 3:28 into the second, Reed Gramlich would beat Dazza Mitchell to make it a 2-0 lead for the Bruins.
