Weyburn Red Wings

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are now within three points of the Yorkton Terriers for 1st in the Viterra Division after picking up two crucial points over the Terriers Sunday afternoon in Yorkton. The Red Wings would come back from a 1-0 first period deficit to win 3-2.  

“I thought the guys battled hard,” head coach Cody Mapes said after the game. The team would spend the majority with a shortened bench after defenseman Simon Martin left 10 minutes into the game.  

In their first game back from the Christmas break, the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings came out with a statement game against their Highway 39 rivals, the Estevan Bruins. Playing at Affinity Place in Estevan, the Red Wings would get two goals in the first period, and then held on for a 3-0 victory - the second time the Wings have shut out the Bruins by that score this season. 

"We obviously hadn't played yet, and so it was good to see the guys get involved physically right away, and shake the rest off," head coach Cody Mapes said after the game.

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings made a big move Friday, as they announced the trade of 20-year-old goaltender Dazza Mitchell to the Humboldt Broncos. 

Mitchell, who joined the Red Wings as a 17-year-old in 2021, appeared in 116 games, 104 in the regular season, for Weyburn. He posted five shutouts throughout his time with the club, with a 3.21 GAA and a .909 save percentage. 

The SJHL announced the coaching staff for the upcoming SJHL/MJHL Showcase, which is scheduled to be held in Winnipeg later this month.  

Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings head coach Cody Mapes has been named one of the three bench bosses for the tournament, which will be held on January 28th and 29th. It has not been announced at this time which of the three SJHL teams Mapes will be coaching.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings made their return to Crescent Point Place Thursday night, after spending a month displaced issues with the ice plant. While they were tied with the Humboldt Broncos 2-2 after 40 minutes, they made a statement in the third period, scoring five goals in the final frame en route to a 7-3 victory.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are returning home.  

After spending the past week in Assiniboia, the team will be back at Crescent Point Place for their final home game before the Christmas break after crews from the City of Weyburn repaired the ice plant at the arena.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings were looking to finish their time in Assiniboia on a winning note Tuesday as they entertained the Yorkton Terriers at the Southland Co-op Centre. The Terriers, though, had other plans as they handed the Red Wings a 4-1 loss, jumping ahead of Weyburn for first in the Viterra Division.  

Despite the loss, Red Wings head coach Cody Mapes wasn’t too upset about the effort in the game.  

A pair of Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings players earned some honours for their performances last week.  

Forward Ethan Dekay, who is committed to Michigan Tech for next season, was named the SJHL’s Forward of the Week. Over the course of three games, he racked up six points, with one goal and five assists. So far this season, Dekay has 16 goals and 18 assists for 34 points. He is the top point-getter for the Red Wings and has the third-most points in the SJHL.  

After picking up a win in their first ‘home’ game in Assiniboia Friday night, the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings were looking to keep the momentum going Saturday against the Kindersley Klippers. The Klippers, though, had other plans. They would come out strong in the first period and held off the Red Wings for a 4-2 victory.  

The Richardson Pioneer Wavern Red Wings played their first game in their temporary home last night as they took to the ice in Assiniboia against the visiting Kindersley Klippers.
