Weyburn Red Wings

The trade window for junior A hockey in Canada opened on Saturday, and by the end of the day, the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings had announced a roster move. They acquired 05-born forward Ty McKay from the Humboldt Broncos in exchange for a player development fee and a second-round draft pick in the 2025 draft.  

Last Tuesday, the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings came away from game seven of their best-of-seven quarterfinal series with the Humboldt Broncos on the wrong side of the scoreboard. After dominating the Broncos for the first two periods of the game, Weyburn would find themselves down 2-0 after a pair of quick goals, and Humboldt held on to win the game 3-0, and the series 4-3.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings came into Tuesday night’s game seven against the Humboldt Broncos looking to do something neither team had done in the series – win on the road. Both teams had their backs to the wall, hoping to extend their season. While the Red Wings carried the play for most of the game, the Broncos took advantage of the power play early in the third period, and held on for a 2-0 win, taking the series 4-3.

The Humboldt Broncos defeated the Red Wings 3-0 in game 7. You can read the full recap here.

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.
