Billy Cuthbert and Terrick Wilderman split the contest in net, each allowing two goals, Wilderman picked up the victory.

On October 28 the Wings hosted the Notre Dame Hounds and were able to skate away with a 4-2 victory. The game was a great battle from start to finish as both teams showed up to compete.

When the buzzer sounded to end the first period the teams were tied at one. Scoring Weyburns goal in the first was Kolton Cleasby , with assists going to Brayden Leslie and Cole Sjostrand. Again, in the second period, it was a tight battle with each team scoring one more goal, Braden Mellon had the unassisted marker for Weyburn.

Tucker Neuberger scored on a nicely set up play from Donovan Lumb and Cole Sjostrand, Brayden Leslie put the game away with an empty net goal late in the game. Terrick Wilderman picked up a well deserved win in net.
