The game provides numerousopportunities for players to develop their skills on and off the ice, tocompete competitively and make new friends.The sport was invented in 1963 in Ontario by the late Sam Jacks. It wasto be a winter team sport layed on ice with skates for girls as analternative, somewhere between figure skating and ice hockey. Today ithas been adapted to gym ringette and in-line ringette. This summer there areclinics happening throughout Alberta where communities are learning thenew variations!Players use straight sticks to pass, carry and shoot a rubber ring. Forthe gym and in-line version, a larger, harder ring is used which slideson any surfact.

The ringette stick has no blade, and a 6 1/2 inch rubberring with a 4 inch 'hole' is used instead of a puck. Receiving a passrequires that the player 'trap' the ring with the stick. This is noeasy feat when the ring is coming fast towards the skating player, andrequires good judgment and coordination. In addition to skills involvedwith ring handling, the game emphasizes skating skills as well asteamwork and positional play.In Ringette, a player cannot carry the ring over the blue lines. The ringmust be passed to a teammate, or shot in. The player who passes orshoots the ring over the blue line cannot touch it again until it hasbeen touched by another player. This encourages teamwork, since a playeressentially cannot carry the ring from one end of the rink to the other.Body checking is prohibited. Stick checking however is very much partof the game, and players learn different techniques to check theoponent's stick and gain control of the ring. This does lead at timesto body contact (where two players might be pushing 'shoulder toshoulder', similar to soccer when two opposing players go after theball). Referees strictly control these situations, especially inthe younger leagues.
