Weyburn Red Wings

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings bounced back from Saturday’s loss against the Notre Dame Hounds with a big win on the road Sunday night. Kirk Mullen scored twice, and Colby Feist finished the night with three points as the Red Wings beat the Hounds 6-2 at the Duncan McNeill Arena in Wilcox. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings found themselves down early in their game Saturday night against the Notre Dame Hounds. They would put the pressure on, especially in the late stages of the game, but ultimately fell 6-2.

Two of the bright spots of the game for the Red Wings was the performance of two recent additions to the lineup. Ethan Clements, skating in his second game for the Red Wings, scored his first goal as a Wing and added an assist. Mi-Kwan Tallman, playing in his first game with the Wings, finished the night with a pair of assists.

In this week's edition of The Coach's Show, Steven Wilson caught up with Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings head coach Cody Mapes. They talk about the roster moves the team has made in recent weeks, the energy and morale in the dressing room, and how the team is looking to close out the season.

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings started 2022 with a win Tuesday night, as they defeated the Yorkton Terriers 5-3 at Crescent Point Place.

The game came after a weekend of roster moves, which saw the Red Wings trade forwards Braden Birnie to Steinbach, Drew Kuzma to Flin Flon, Nik Sombrowski to Notre Dame, Beau Larson to Virden, and forward Troy Hamilton and defenseman Nick Dobson to Winkler. The roster moves resulted in the Red Wings having a rather young roster, with just one 20-year-old player on the ice.

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings announced another big move Monday morning. The team has traded captain Braden Birnie to the Steinbach Pistons of the MJHL. 

Birnie, who was named the captain of the team earlier this season, is in his final season of junior hockey eligibility. The Weyburn native has played in 93 games with the Red Wings, compiling 50 points in that stretch.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings starting 2022 off with a roster move. 

The team announced late Sunday they have traded 01-born forward Nik Sombrowski to the Notre Dame Hounds. The Fernie, B.C. native had 21 points in 28 games this season. 

Coming back to the Red Wings are 1st, 3rd and 4th round picks in this year’s draft.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings and the Estevan Bruins have announced the annual New Year's home and home series has been postponed.

The move to postpone the game scheduled for Estevan on Thursday and in Weyburn on Saturday was made after the teams stated there were players who were close contacts to positive COVID-19 cases on both teams. 

No dates have been announced as of yet for when the games will be played. 

It was also announced the La Ronge Ice Wolves were postponing their games scheduled for Friday and Saturday against the Flin Flon Bombers. 

This week, Steven WIlson (Weyburn Red Wings) is joined by Rory McGouran (Humboldt Broncos), Matt Dekker (Yorkton Terriers) and Nick Nielsen (Kindersley Klippers).

The panel talks about how the first half of the season played out compared to what they were expecting at the start of the season, who is on Santa's naughty list and who is on Santa's nice list, and a whole lot more.

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings played their last game before the Christmas Break Saturday night, and it is a game they will likely want to forget. After finishing the first period trailing 1-0, a pair of shorthanded goals in the final moments of the second helped boost the Estevan Bruins to a 7-0 victory, securing the Highway 39 Cup. 

The loss didn’t sit well with Red Wings head coach Cody Mapes – in particular the effort from his team at times. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings were looking to bounce back from Wednesday’s loss when they took the ice at Crescent Point Place Friday night. It was the team's first game at home since November 29th. The visiting Melville Millionaires has other ideas, though, capitalizing on their opportunities to beat the Red Wings 4-1.
