Weyburn Red Wings

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings will be back in action tonight, as they open a home-and-home series with the Melville Millionaires at Crescent Point Place. The game has a lot on the line, with the Millionaires four points back of the Wings in the standings.  

“This is a massive weekend,” said Red Wings head coach Cody Mapes after practice Thursday. “We could end up tied or end up by eight points. It’s probably the biggest weekend of the year so far.” 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings took to the road Tuesday night for a game against the Notre Dame Hounds. The neutral site game in Radville felt more like a home game for the Wings, with a number of Weyburn faithful in the stands. It would be the actual home team though, the Hounds, who came away with the win, skating to a 6-3 victory after rallying from a 3-1 deficit. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are off to Radville tonight for a neutral site game against their other Highway 39 rivals, the Notre Dame Hounds.  

UPDATE: Another move announced at the roster deadline involved the Humboldt Broncos. They have added goaltender jared Picklyk. He was traded in the WHL from the Tri-City Americans to the Lethbridge Hurricanes, and then assigned to the Broncos.
