Weyburn Red Wings

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings edged closer to clinching first in the Viterra Division Friday night, as they skated to a 3-1 win over the Melville Millionaires at Crescent Point Place. 

"I thought the boys played well tonight," said head coach Cody Mapes after the game. "Tonight wasn't about X's and O's. It was about mentality, and it was about a willingness to compete and get to the blue paint. I thought our guys did a really good job."

It was a game for the ages for the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings Tuesday night, as they dismantled the Notre Dame Hounds en route to a 12-0 win. In their last ever game against the Notre Dame Hounds, who are relocating to Warman for next season, the Red Wings had four players with multi-goal games, including a hat trick from Lucas Schmid.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings were looking to open their lead for first in the Viterra Division Friday night when the Melville Millionaires came to town. The Millionaires, though, would have the Red Wings their sixth loss in the past 10 games, leaving Crescent Point Place with a 5-2 victory. 

The Millionaires opened the game with a goal from Simon Parini at 6:04 of the first period. Melville then expanded that lead in the second with a goal from William Forsberg with 9:50 left in the frame, and a power play goal from Noah Belle-Isles with 6:08 remaining. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings reclaimed top spot in the Viterra Division Wednesday night, as they doubled up the Humboldt Broncos 4-2 last night. The win now has Weyburn up by one point over the Yorkton Terriers, with a game still in hand as the team enters the final stretch before the postseason.  

Another week, another member of the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings was named one of the SJHL’s players of the week.  

Yesterday, it was announced that forward Liam Fitzgerald was the league’s Forward of the Week. This is the first time this season he has received the honour.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings wanted to extend their winning streak to three games last night when they entertained the Nipawin Hawks. Nipawin, however, had other plans as they knocked off another top-level opponent, upsetting Weyburn 7-5 in a high-scoring affair at Crescent Point Place. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings not only picked up a win Monday afternoon against the Estevan Bruins but accomplished two other feats at the same time. They officially clinched a playoff spot, and clinched the Highway 39 Cup, as they doubled up the Bruins 6-3 at Crescent Point Place.  

A goal in the first period would be all the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings needed Friday night, as Angelo Zol made 22 saves for his league-leading fourth shutout of the season to help the Red Wings to a 1-0 win over the Nipawin Hawks. 

"The boys played fantastic," Zol said after the game. "It was a good bounce-back win. They were blocking shots, clearing bodies, and they made my job easy tonight."

Josh Karman had the lone goal for the Red Wings, scoring with 8:19 remaining in the first period. Ethan Dekay and Jaxson Ruthven assisted with his fourth of the year. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are gearing up for an exciting game on Monday as the Highway 39 cup continues. They’ll face the Estevan Bruins at Crescent Point Place at 3 p.m. but it doesn’t stop there.  

Ryder Burns, sales and marketing director with the Weyburn Red Wings, explains they saw an opportunity with a Family Day game and took it. 

“We wanted to make it big, we ended up with the Family Day game on our schedule, so we thought we'd make something of it as it's a holiday. People need something to do and why not come to a Red Wings game?” 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings went into the third period of last night’s game in Melfort against the Mustangs with a 3-2 lead. A pair of quick goals from the home team changed the Red Wings' fortunes, and Melfort managed to come away with a 4-3 victory.  

“We battled hard, and it came down to a couple of bounces that went their way,” said Weyburn forward Braigh LeGrandeur after the game. “It’s something to build on, and we can definitely learn from it.”
