Deer Lake Red Wings

Love 'em or hate 'em, this is certainly a big blow to Senior Hockey in Newfoundland. Let's hope they DO make it back next year with some top sponsors on board for the financial backing.

I always hated them but I must say the best weekends at the Joe were when DL were in town.

i gotta agree geoguy. one word "INTENSE" rivalry, especially in the playoffs. close games,nail biters even a couple bench clearing brawls. The Cats/Wings rivalry was the best and was always a sell out or close to it at the Joe or the Hodder. Sad day in Newfoundland when the official announcement is made and theres no Wings this year.

The writing was on the wall and its now here....Sad sad sad...But this was coming and shouldnt have been hard to see....More teams will follow suit in the future.JMO

If indeed true it will certainly be a trend starting to develop....The Breakers last year, the Red Wings this year...what we all thought were strong hockey towns (which they are) are falling to the bigger centres....bad to see for NL Senior Hockey as a whole.
