Weyburn Red Wings

After a big win on home ice Sunday night, the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings will be looking to get their first road win of the postseason tonight as they take on the Broncos in Humboldt in a decisive game seven in their SJHL quarterfinal series.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings forced a final and decisive game seven in their SJHL quarterfinal series with the Humboldt Broncos after a 2-1 win in front of over a thousand loud and boisterous fans Sunday night.

The home team once again got the win in the opening round series between the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings and the Humboldt Broncos. Humboldt skated away with a 4-1 victory to take a 3-2 edge in the best-of-seven series, which will now shift back to Weyburn for game six Sunday night. 

Humboldt opened the scoring just 100 seconds into the game and kept the Red Wings from being able to gain any momentum. 

Weyburn is still buzzing with excitement after the dramatic finish to game four of the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings series with the Humboldt Broncos. A back-and-forth game wrapped up with an overtime winner from Nick Kovacs to even the series up at 2-2.  

"It sounded like there were 2,000 people here screaming in overtime, especially anytime we get a good chance, anytime I make a save... Just electric. We love it. We feed on it. It helps."

Those were the thoughts of Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings netminder Dazza Mitchell Wednesday night as he made 25 saves en route to a 4-3 overtime win over the Humboldt Broncos. The win tied up the best-of-seven quarterfinal series between the two clubs at 2-2 as the series shifts back to Humboldt for game five Friday night. 

Jaxson Ruthven scored the game-winner, and Dazza Mitchell made 34 saves as the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings picked up a 5-3 win over the Humboldt Broncos in front of a loud and boisterous crowd at Crescent Point Place Tuesday night. With the win, the best-of-seven series is now 2-1 in favour of the Broncos, but the Red Wings will look to even the series up on Wednesday in game four. 

The win was also the first home playoff victory for the Red Wings since the 2018 playoffs, and the first on home ice in the quarterfinals since 2016. 

Liam Fitzgerald and Matthew Hodson scored twice, but it wouldn't be enough as the Humboldt Broncos outlasted the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings Saturday, winning game two of their best-of-seven series 7-4. With the win, the Broncos now lead the series 2-0 as it comes to Weyburn for games three and four this coming week. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings went into the Elgar Petersen Arena to open the 2024 SJHL playoffs against the Humboldt Broncos. The first-round series is the first meeting between the two clubs in the playoffs since 2015. 

The Broncos, who came into the post-season as the number three seed in the SJHL, would come out looking to set a tone for the series by scoring early and often. They would open up the game with a goal nearly six minutes into the game and then hold on to the lead to take the first game of the series. Humboldt took the first game by a final of 6-1.

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings left Weyburn around 11:00 a.m. this morning, heading to Humboldt for Game 1 of their opening round best-of-seven playoff series with the Broncos. The team had fans coming out to Crescent Point Place, with an escort from the Weyburn Police Service. The route out of town also had fans coming out to cheer the team on. 

For the first time since 2015, the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings will be taking on the Humboldt Broncos in the post-season. That year, the Red Wings came out on top, winning the best-of-five wild card series in four games against the higher-seeded team. This year, they will look to emulate the success from nine seasons ago when they open up play at the Elgar Petersen Arena in Humboldt tonight.
