# Ringette Canada Hall of Fame

The Ringette Canada Hall of Fame (RCHoF) was established in 1988 by Ringette Canada, Canada's governing body for ringette, to honor notable individuals and groups associated with the sport.
The RCHoF includes six categories: Founder, Builder, Official, Team, Coach, and Athlete. A number of Canadian national ringette teams and their players have been inducted over the course of its existence, as well as organizers, administrators, coaches, and officials.
The first two Canadians to be inducted into the RCHoF were inducted in 1988: the two founders of ringette, Sam Jacks and Red McCarthy. Agnes Jacks CM, the wife of Sam Jacks, was inducted as a Builder in 1996.
The first builders to be inducted were June Tiessen and Terry Youngman (1989). Tiessen was Ringette Canada's first President (1974–75, 1976–77) while Youngman served as its president from 1981 to 1983. Youngman later lead the international development of the sport from 1983 to 1985 while serving as Ringette Canada's Past-President.
The first two teams to be inducted were world title winners Team Alberta from the 1990 World Ringette Championships (2005), and Team Canada West from the 1992 World Ringette Championships (2005). The first athlete to be inducted was Deb Marek (2001), the first coach to be inducted was Lyndsay Wheelans (2002), and the first official to be inducted was Denise Weeks (2001).
