Recent history[]

The Western Red Wings historically are the second most elite team in the IJHL, behind the repetitive champions the Kensington Vipers. They continuously make the league final, but rarely win the championship.[1][2] They played in the 2015 Don Johnson Memorial Cup, the Maritime Junior hockey championship, when the tournament was played in Abrams Village.[3]

The 2016–17 season saw the Red Wings win their first playoff championships to advance to the Don Johnson Memorial Cup as the IJHL representative.
