Count to 1000 Career Wins Is On!



A significant milestone is on the horizon for a coaching legend as Weyburn Red Wings head coach has amassed 992 career regular season wins over his SJHL career. As Dwight McMillan approaches his 1000th win, we will be counting up the wins up to the magical number.

Please keep in mind this total does not include the numerous playoff wins, Royal Bank Cup wins, exhibition game wins and the list goes on. This is a remarkable achievment for a remarkable and humble man and we hope you will all join us in wishing Dwight the best of luck as as closes in on #1,000.

Dwight McMillan has been a part of the organization since the inaugural season of the Weyburn Red Wings (1960-61) when he was a player for the team. He began his coaching career in the 1972-73 season and other than a few years in the middle, he has been behind the bench ever since. Please join us all in the count to 1000. Best of luck to Dwight and the entire Red Wing organization.
