Weyburn Red Wings

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.

When the calls went out from the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings in their search for a temporary home, the town of Assiniboia was more than willing to help out. Within a few short hours of asking for volunteers to billet the Red Wings for the remainder of December, the community had stepped up.  

For the next 10 days, the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings will call Assiniboia 90 minutes west of Weyburn along Highway 13, home as repairs are made to the ice plant at Crescent Point Place and Tom Zandee Sports Arena.  

For head coach and general manager Cody Mapes, the work on preparing for this move started shortly after the announcement the arenas would be closed for the rest of the calendar year. A call went out to people in Assiniboia to see what could be done.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are off to Assiniboia for the rest of December. The team is making the move as a result of the temporary closure of Crescent Point Place due to ice plant issues.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are back in the win column, after skating to a 6-4 victory over the Melville Millionaires. The win keeps the Red Wings in second place in the Viterra Division, one point up on the Yorkton Terriers.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings came away from North Battlefords with just two points after they fell 9-3 in the second game of the weekend Saturday night. The North Stars would take advantage of the power play, scoring on three of their ten man-advantages, en route to the victory.  

Anthony Campbell opened up the scoring for the North Stars 2:49 into the game with a power play goal, but then the Red Wings gained some momentum.  

It would take a shootout, but the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings got back into the win column Friday night, as they opened a trip to North Battleford with a 5-4 win over the North Stars. Jerome Marahaj, Lucas Schmid, and Ethan Dekay had a goal and an assist each in the win, with Dekay getting the game-winner in the shootout. Meanwhile, Angelo Zol stopped 41 of the 45 shots he faced to earn the victory between the pipes. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings took to the ice for the first time in 14 days Saturday night, after three of the games in that span were postponed – one due to weather and two due to ice plant issues at Crescent Point Place. They travelled to Estevan for the first time this season, looking to improve the season record to 2-0 against their Highway 39 rivals.
