The Tisdale Trojans are planning to come practice in Bjorkdale on Feb. 1, 8 and 15th from 4:15 – 6:30pm. Everyone is welcome to come watch. On Wednesday, Feb. 15, Bjorkdale will host a “Skate with the Trojans” day and invite any child or parent to go skating with the Trojans. A fun hockey game will be played with whoever wants to join.
