Weyburn Red Wings

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.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings handed out their awards for the 2023-24 season Sunday night. The annual awards banquet saw a number of players recognized for their efforts for the season. The event has also become a key fundraiser for the team, with a comedy show after the awards presentation. This year, the entertainers were Weyburn’s Ryan Skjerdal, and Bengough’s Darryl Koszman.

Here is the list of award recipients:

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings entered Saturday night's game against the Estevan Bruins with the 6th seed in the SJHL playoffs secured. Weyburn also had the chance to sweep the season series with their Highway 39 rivals, who they shut out 4-0 the night before. 

The game would be a back-and-forth battle between two teams, with pride on the line for both teams. It would take a goal late in the third period to be the difference, with Estevan coming out on top 5-4. 

Dazza Mitchell made 33 saves for his third shutout of the season as the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings skated to a 4-0 win over the Estevan Bruins Friday night to kick off the final weekend of the SJHL's regular season. The win would also secure 6th place overall for the Red Wings, meaning they will face either the Humboldt Broncos or Battlefords North Stars in the first round of the playoffs. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings bounced back from their low-scoring home-and-home on the weekend with Melville Wednesday night with a big win over the Notre Dame Hounds in Wilcox. Seven different players found the back of the net, and Angelo Zol made 29 saves as the Wings skated to a 7-2 win.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings entered the weekend with a playoff berth secured. They were hoping they could close the gap with the Melville millionaires for 1st in the Viterra Division, or possibly pass them into the top spot. However, after two tight games against Melville in a crucial home-and-home series, Weyburn found themselves looking to secure the 6th overall seed, as the Millionaires took both of the games.

For the second season in a row under head coach Cody Mapes, the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are off to the postseason. The Wings skated to a 4-2 win over the Notre Dame Hounds at Crescent Point Place Tuesday night to secure a playoff berth, and now, will look to move up the standings in the remaining five games this season. 

The Red Wings were led by Cade Meiklejohn and Jaxson Ruthven, who finished with a goal and an assist each, and Dazza Mitchell made 39 saves and added an assist on the final goal of the night. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are entering the final two weeks of the regular season as the hottest team in the SJHL. They have won their past five games, outscoring their opponents 20-9 in that stretch. The Red Wings have also not lost in regulation since February 9th, when the Flin Flon Bombers beat the Wings at Crescent Point Place 4-2.  

Colin Doherty scored his first goal in the SJHL, and Max Monette scored in overtime, as the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings picked up a 5-4 win over the Nipawin Hawks Wednesday night. With the win, the Red Wings moved within two points of the Estevan Bruins for second in the Viterra Division with two games in hand. Weyburn is also three points back of the Kindersley Klippers for sixth place in the overall standings with four games in hand.  

Five different players found the back of the net, and Dazza Mitchell stopped 36 shots as the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings picked up a decisive win over the Melville Millionaires Monday. In the Family Day matinee game, the Red Wings came away with a 5-0 win over their Viterra Division rivals.

Weyburn now trails Estevan by four points for second in the division, and seventh overall, and are just five points back of Melville for first in the division with 10 games left to play this season.
