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

The sport has become one of Canada’s favorite activities for females, with over 60,000 participants across Canada. The growth has continued internationally with the formation of associations in the U.S.A., Finland, Sweden, Estonia, and France. In addition, Ringette Canada has been instrumental in demonstrating the game in the Netherlands, Switzerland, West Germany, and Japan.

Locally, the Leduc Ringette Association was founded some 20 plus years ago with one small team. Today, it provides instruction and support to over 70 girls playing on 6 teams of various ages and abilities. Our annual “Wild Thing Ringette Tournament” attracts teams from all over Alberta, Saskatchewan and B.C. and is known to be one of the best tournaments in our province.
