Weyburn Red Wings

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings bring excitement to Crescent Point Place every winter, as fans pack the arena to cheer on their favourite SJHL team. While the team helps to bring the community together, there are other benefits that are seen throughout the city.  

The SJHL playoffs start on Friday, and as it is most years, it looks like it could be an exciting race for the Canterra Seeds Cup.  

We took a look at the numbers, and the statistics, and then put them all into a computer simulation to see who would come out on top in the first round. The series results are based on 1000 simulations and then going with the most common outcome. 

While Friday night's game between the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings and Estevan Bruins would have little impact on the standings, there would be a lot in the way of pride on the line. A single point would give Weyburn the Highway 39 Cup, while the Bruins were looking to get a win to help their efforts to recapture the trophy. 

The Red Wings would be the first to get on the board when Josh Sale scored 3:07 into the game. The goal, his 12th of the campaign, was assisted by Ethan Dekay and Cyprus Smith-Davis. 

For the first time since the 2015-16, the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are the division champions. Captain Blake Betson scored twice, and Jerome Maharaj added a goal himself, as the Red Wings skated to a 3-2 win over the Humboldt Broncos at Crescent Point Place. The win secured the top spot in the division over the Yorkton Terriers. It also means Weyburn will have the third seed in the SJHL playoffs.  

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.
