The Hall of Fame is intended to celebrate all those who have made outstanding contributions to the Red Wings organization and the broader Weyburn hockey community, as well as those who have experienced significant success after their time with the Red Wings.

“The Hall of Fame is an opportunity to recognize the people who helped built the legacy of Red Wings hockey,” said Lori McIntosh, President. “From championship seasons to decades of volunteer service, these worthy inductees represent the heart of our organization.”
The induction ceremony will bring together alums, families, fans, and community members to reflect on the rich history of Red Wings hockey and to honour those who have helped the team thrive over the years.
At this time, the Red Wings are pleased to report that we expect all nine inductees to attend the event.
