Weyburn Red Wings

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings made their return to Crescent Point Place Thursday night, after spending a month displaced issues with the ice plant. While they were tied with the Humboldt Broncos 2-2 after 40 minutes, they made a statement in the third period, scoring five goals in the final frame en route to a 7-3 victory.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are returning home.  

After spending the past week in Assiniboia, the team will be back at Crescent Point Place for their final home game before the Christmas break after crews from the City of Weyburn repaired the ice plant at the arena.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings were looking to finish their time in Assiniboia on a winning note Tuesday as they entertained the Yorkton Terriers at the Southland Co-op Centre. The Terriers, though, had other plans as they handed the Red Wings a 4-1 loss, jumping ahead of Weyburn for first in the Viterra Division.  

Despite the loss, Red Wings head coach Cody Mapes wasn’t too upset about the effort in the game.  

A pair of Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings players earned some honours for their performances last week.  

Forward Ethan Dekay, who is committed to Michigan Tech for next season, was named the SJHL’s Forward of the Week. Over the course of three games, he racked up six points, with one goal and five assists. So far this season, Dekay has 16 goals and 18 assists for 34 points. He is the top point-getter for the Red Wings and has the third-most points in the SJHL.  

After picking up a win in their first ‘home’ game in Assiniboia Friday night, the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings were looking to keep the momentum going Saturday against the Kindersley Klippers. The Klippers, though, had other plans. They would come out strong in the first period and held off the Red Wings for a 4-2 victory.  

The Richardson Pioneer Wavern Red Wings played their first game in their temporary home last night as they took to the ice in Assiniboia against the visiting Kindersley Klippers.

When the calls went out from the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings in their search for a temporary home, the town of Assiniboia was more than willing to help out. Within a few short hours of asking for volunteers to billet the Red Wings for the remainder of December, the community had stepped up.  

For the next 10 days, the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings will call Assiniboia 90 minutes west of Weyburn along Highway 13, home as repairs are made to the ice plant at Crescent Point Place and Tom Zandee Sports Arena.  

For head coach and general manager Cody Mapes, the work on preparing for this move started shortly after the announcement the arenas would be closed for the rest of the calendar year. A call went out to people in Assiniboia to see what could be done.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are off to Assiniboia for the rest of December. The team is making the move as a result of the temporary closure of Crescent Point Place due to ice plant issues.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are back in the win column, after skating to a 6-4 victory over the Melville Millionaires. The win keeps the Red Wings in second place in the Viterra Division, one point up on the Yorkton Terriers.
