🎶 Waiting for Our Rink… 🎶
Lonely, we’re all so lonely
Got no ice rink for our own
We’re so lonely, we’re all so lonely
Just want hockey back at home
We are so lonely…
Yo, this one goes out to all the players, man
The ones who miss the rink, the fans, the fam
We’ve waited so long, we just want to skate
But no update yet, so we sit and we wait…
🏒🥶 Still no news, but we’re holding on and hoping for the day we can finally get back on the ice!

Unfortunately longer we wait for the rink to reopen the longer the the junior bison will take to re establish themselves 😥
You need independent union and sponsorship. Don't wait till government kill it completely. Good luck 👍
