Weyburn Red Wings

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. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings came out firing on all cylinders last night as they entertained the Estevan Bruins in preseason action. Keenan Ingram would tally twice, and Angelo Zol was nearly flawless in net as the Red Wings topped the Bruins 4-1. 

"At the end of the day, it is a rivalry, preseason or not," said head coach Cody Mapes after the game. "It was great. Good to always win, but, you know, proud of our guys for standing up for each other."

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings opened the scoring just 2:22 into the first period last night against the visiting Notre Dame Hounds and never looked back. The Wings, thanks to a hat trick from Keenan Ingram, would put the Hounds in the dog house with a 9-0 preseason win.  

The annual meeting for the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings was held at the Ramada in Weyburn Wednesday night. 

Those in attendance heard about how the past season went for the Red Wings, on and off the ice. The team had a short, but memorable playoff run, going to seven games against the Humboldt Broncos in one of the most entertaining matchups of the postseason last year.  

The SJHL made a little noise on Canada Day, as they released their 2024-25 schedule.  

The season will start on September 20th, with 10 of the league’s 12 teams, including the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings, taking to the ice. The Red Wings will be opening their season in Yorkton against the Terriers. This will be the seventh time in the past 10 years the Red Wings have opened their season with a game against the Terriers. 

The SJHL Draft was held Tuesday afternoon, and the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings made 10 selections during the draft. The team did not have a first-round selection in the 09 Draft, with the Melville Millionaires holding that pick. The Red Wings did get to make the first selection of the second round, however, and went with 09-born defenceman Ethan Young, who played last season with the Regina Pat Blues U15 AA squad.
