The Metro Ringette Association Ice Ringette is a great international team ice sport and there are opportunities for girls and women to play the game right here in Minnesota. You will find lots of information on our web site about rules, safety, coaching, and local and international competition. It is a fast paced, team ice sport that focuses on skating skills and teamwork. The game is played on a hockey rink, and, like hockey, has five skaters and a goalie.
Players wear pretty much the same equipment as hockey layers.
But then things get very different. Instead of a small, hard puck, Ringette uses a flexible rubber ring that is 8inches in diameter. Team play is a critical component of ringette. When moving down the rink a team must pass the ring across each blue line. None of this comes easy.
