Bourkevale curler goes to junior nationals

From left to right, Beth Peterson (skip), Robyn Njegovan (third), Melissa Gordon (second), Breanne Yozenko (lead) and coach Jack Gordon.
Bourkevale curler Breanne Yozenko and her team won the provincial junior championship Dec. 31 and will be representing Manitoba at the Canadian Junior Curling Championship in Corner Brook Nfld Jan. 24 to Feb. 1. It's a terrific achievement for this group of young women  who have been curling since they were as young as three and four years hold. As a group, Team Peterson has been curling together for the past 10 years.
Yozenko is a member of Bourkevale Community Centre's board of directors and runs the club's canteen. The team will be holding a fundraiser Friday Jan. 9 at the Assiniboine Memorial Curling Club at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased by calling or texting 204-226-1793.
