Caps vs. Lake Cowichan School matchup coming
School trustee Cathy Schmidt has great news for Cowichan Lake’s hockey fans.
“The principal of Lake Cowichan School and myself booked a hockey game between the school team and the Cowichan Valley Capitals. It’s a fun game and will be on Wednesday night, Jan. 10, from 6:40-8:10 p.m.”
The Caps arrive at the Lake Cowichan arena at 5:30 p.m.
“Special guest referee, back by popular demand, SD 79’s pride and joy, the one and only Monroe Grobe [Lake Cowichan firefighter and school district operations manager]. No heckling the ref as he is on team SD79! Come on out to Lake Cowichan Wednesday night for a fun community event,” Schmidt said.
Last year’s game was great entertainment.
Why not take the family for a night out at the rink?
