What is Ladies’ Ringette?
After one leaves all the politics, headaches and intensity of a sport at the door, we are left with the pure love of the game.
Ladies from the age of 30 years and up-and --UP-- play on Masters teams (otherwise known as Ladies teams). There is a sense of teamwork and fun that exists –and a hope for most to just stay vertical on that ice a little longer! For Moms who watch their kids play and think “ Hey - I could do that”- well they can - and they are! For players who had played when they were younger-or all the way through - there is a division for them when they leave Open or Intermediates--- it’s Masters!To play opponents who are checking you fiercely, fighting for the ring intensely, and then after the game - sharing a pitcher of drinks and nachos with you with that same dedication - that is when it all comes together - a sport where everyone is playing for the love of it - and sharing the same passion…………That is what Ladies’ Ringette is all about.
Ladies’ Ringette in Prince George
Ringette was first introduced in Prince George in early 1980’s. Within a few years, the Ladies formed a team, which was active for 3 to 4 years, and played games against ladies teams from Vanderhoof, Burns Lake and Fraser Lake.
The Ladies team dubbed "Chicks with Sticks" was inactive until 1998-1999 season, when we got together again to play for fun, and participated for the first time in the "Chicks on Ice" Tournament in Abbotsford.
