Weyburn Red Wings

Next month Jeremy Roenick, who had a stellar 20-year career in the NHL but is most known for his time with the Chicago Blackhawks, will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Ahead of his being inducted, he made a stop in Weyburn last night, where he spoke as part of a fundraiser for the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings.

The winning streak is over for the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings.  

The Red Wings fell 4-3 in overtime last night against the Humboldt Broncos, the first loss for the Red Wings since October 4th. As the loss was in overtime, it does mean Weyburn has recorded at least a point in eight straight games, keeping the unbeaten-in-regulation streak alive.  

The Yorkton Terriers have been forced to forfeit three wins since October 11th, as the league has ruled the team used an ineligible player in its last six games. The forfeited games are wins against Nipawin on October 11th, Estevan on October 16th, and Melville on October 18th. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings had a rocky start to the 2024-25 season. Since those four games, though, the Red Wings have been on a tear, and they continued their winning streak Wednesday night in Nipawin. Thanks in part to a hat trick from Lucas Schmid, Weyburn extended the streak to five games with a 9-1 win over the Hawks. 

"We kind of had a feeling going into the game; our energy was pretty good," Red Wings head coach Cody Mapes said after the game. "(The) boys were excited to get back at it here. I thought our habits were pretty good throughout the night."

Thanks to hat tricks from Ethan Dekay and Jaxson Ruthven, the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings extended their winning streak to four games Saturday night. They moved back up to .500 on the season as they defeated the Yorkton Terriers 6-4.

"We've talked about winning season series within our division, and tonight was a big step in the right direction for that," said head coach Cody Mapes after the game. The Terriers had won the first two meetings of the season between the two clubs, with the win Saturday night being the first Wings victory over Yorkton on the season. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings were looking to extend their winning streak to three games Friday night when they took on the Notre Dame Hounds in Assiniboia. They would extend the streak, thanks to a hat trick by Liam Fitzgerald in the first period, and a lot of offense from all the lines, as they skated to a 7-1 win. 

"Fitzy's been good," head coach Cody Mapes said after the game. "He's got a scoring knack like that."

With the three goals Fitzgerald now leads the team with 12 points on the season. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings were looking to make it two wins in a row when they travelled to Melville to play the Millionaires Tuesday night. The Wings would take an early lead, and not look back, as they tripled the Millionaires 6-2, handing Melville their first loss in regulation for the season.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings had been waiting for the goals to come through the first four games of the season. Saturday night, they did come, in spades, as they tripled the Nipawin Hawks 6-2 at Crescent Point Place. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings were looking to bounce back from their 0-3 start Friday night as the Flin Flon Bombers came to town. Weyburn would jump out to lead in the first period, but the Bombers rallied, scoring four unanswered goals en route to a 4-2 victory. 

"The puck's not going in the net, but I do like a lot of the things that are going on," said head coach Cody Mapes after the game. "We've just got to find a way to make sure the puck's going in the net more often than they go in ours, and right now, that's not happening."

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings have been working to bolster the lineup this week, with a number of additions to the roster. Not all of the players coming in are necessarily new faces, however.
