Fun & Friendships Happen on
Ice!
Understanding Ringette
Ringette has some very distinct differences to other ice
sports. In fact, while it looks a bit like hockey, it more closely resembles
lacrosse or basketball in terms of its offensive and defensive play.
| Ringette uses a rubber ring and sticks with
specially designed tips. The objective is to score on the opponent by
shooting the ring into their net.
|
| There are two periods of 15 - 20 minutes depending
on the age of the players. Most games last approximately 1 hour. The pace
is very fast therefore players get lots of ice time in this hour.
| Teams consist of between 7-18 players. 6 players
from each team are allowed on the ice at one time; 1 goalie (regular
hockey goalie stick); 2 defense; 2 forwards; and 1 center.
| The players wear full protective equipment like
hockey players but ringette uses a unique stick and face mask. Ringette
players wear jerseys but wear long pants instead of short pants and socks
like hockey players do. The goalie uses regular goalie equipment but in
ringette some goalies use a unique catching glove.
| Intentional body contact is not permitted.
| Ringette uses the 2 blue lines but not the center
line. It also uses 2 additional free play lines which create zones unique
to ringette.
| Unlike hockey, the ring must be passed across the
blue lines. This encourages passing and team play, enhancing the flow of
the game and making it very fast.
| The game is kept fast moving and wide open as only
three players from each team may enter the offensive or defensive zone at
a time. There is lots of room to move which creates many scoring chances.
| Like basketball and lacrosse, in most divisions of
Ringette, there is a shot clock that forces the teams to shoot quickly
which also keeps the game moving quickly. |
