The invitational tournament win in Saskatoon over the holidays was a start to the Weyburn Bantam AA Crescent Point Energy Wings recent dominance. Since the tournament, they have played in six contests and have not lost.
They handed the Prairie Storm of White City their first lost in league play by a score of 8-3. They also beat the Yorkton Terriers and Lumsden Lions 7-1 and 4-2, respectively. With those league wins they moved into second place in the South Saskatchewan Minor Hockey League, one point behind the Regina Senators.
In the first round of provincial play downs they were matched up against the rival Estevan Bruins. The CP Wings discarded the Bruins by the scores of 6-5 and 8-3. The CP Wings have begun their second round of provincials against the Regina Senators.
On January 21, they hosted the Senators at Crescent Point Place and pulled out a 3-2 win. The final score was close on the score sheet but not on the ice. The CP Wings took a 3-0 score into the third period where the Senators scored two late goals. The scoring was done by Jack Carleton, Trey Tendler and Nicholas Pouliot. They took a one goal lead into the second game of the two-game total points series.
