About Ringette

Ringette is a Canadian game that was first introduced in 1963 in North Bay, Ontario. Developed by Sam Jacks, originally for girls, ringette is a fast-paced team sport on ice in which players use a straight stick to pass, carry, and shoot a rubber ring to score goals.

For ten years, play centered in Ontario and Quebec, however the sport quickly spread across Canada and is now played in all ten provinces and the Northwest Territories.

In fact, the sport has become one of Canada's favorite activities for females, with over 50,000 participants, including players, coaches, officials and volunteers, across Canada - a remarkable growth rate for such a young sport.
