Weyburn Red Wings

Ty Mason scored the game-winning goal with less than two minutes to play in Wednesday night’s game in Notre Dame, as the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings skated to their second win in a row, beating the Hounds 4-2. The two points for the Red Wings also had playoff implications for the Hounds, who are now all be ensured to finish in eighth place and will open the postseason in a best of seven match-up with the Estevan Bruins. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings held their awards banquet Sunday night at the Weyburn Legion. 

Rookie forward Kirk Mullen would find himself with a lot of the hardware, as he was named the Top Forward, Rookie of the Year and the team’s Most Valuable Player. He is also the top scorer on the team. 

“Last time I had a hat trick was in AAA Midget, and yah, it’s really unbelievable I was able to put four away tonight.” 

Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings forward Davis Chorney led the way for the hometown team Saturday, as he scored all four goals, including the overtime winner, as the Red Wings picked up a 4-3 win over the Estevan Bruins. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings will have to wait a little longer for their last game of the season against the Yorkton Terriers.  

The game scheduled for tonight has been postponed due to weather conditions. No make-up date has been announced as of yet.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings found themselves down early in their game Tuesday night against the visiting Yorkton Terriers, and despite their best efforts, were unable to overcome the deficit, falling 4-1 at Crescent Point Place.

“Ten minutes off,” said Red Wings head coach Cody Mapes after the game. “We’re young and we’re not good enough right now to take 10 minutes off. The other 50 minutes of the game we were okay but we gave up about 15 shots and three goals in that 10 minutes and that is, unfortunately, the difference in the game.”

“We’ve got to make sure we play five-on-five,” said Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings head coach Cody Mapes after Wednesday night’s 4-1 loss to the Battlefords North Stars. “We’re pretty good when we do that, we just got to make sure we don’t give teams like this chances when they’re going to get chances on their own.”

The loss closed out a two-game, two-night trip to North Battleford where the Red Wings kept pace throughout the night against the North Stars. The games just came down to small mistakes, miscues and bounces.

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings kicked off their last road trip season Tuesday night, heading to North Battleford for a pair of games against the North Stars. In the opening game of the trip, the two teams exchanged a number of quality chances, however, the bounces went the way of the home side as the North Stars skated to a 3-0 win.

“There was a lot of good things early on,” said Red Wings head coach Cody Mapes after the game. “Maybe we didn’t out chance them early, but the number of chances through forty was close.”

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings travelled down to Estevan to face the Bruins in the second half of a home and home Saturday night, looking to bounce back after a 4-0 loss to the Bruins Friday night. Kade Runke had other plans, though, as the Bruins forward scored four goal as Estevan skated to a 10-0 win over the Red Wings.  

Runke opened the scoring in the first period, scoring at the 3:44 mark. Eric Houk then made it 2-0 Estevan with a goal at the 18:20 mark of the frame.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings fell 4-0 to the Estevan Bruins Friday night, but the talk of the game will be an incident that happened with 1:24 left on the clock.

With just moments left in the game, Weyburn forward Simon Pollock dropped the gloves with Estevan Bruins defenseman Alex Von Sprecken. During the fight, one punch from Von Sprecken caught Pollock, and he collapsed to the ice, seemingly unconscious. Referees instantly called for the trainer, and medical staff came on to the ice almost immediately.

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings came out of the gate with momentum as they took on the Battlefords North Stars Wednesday night at Crescent Point Place. The Wings would score the first goal, but then the momentum swung in the other direction, with the North Stars scoring seven straight goals to skate to a 7-1 victory.
