According to Head Coach and GM of the Red Wings Rich Pilon, assistant captain and Weyburn native Rhett Frey will not be returning to the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings for their final six games of the season.

A lingering health issue was the reason for the departure.

Frey has 22 points with the Red Wings this year, and was part of the leadership group through the start of the season that continued on all the way until his departure from the team.

The Red Wings wanted to wish the best for Frey in whatever it is he does moving forward.
