All you need to know about Ringette is that its the best Sport Evaaa!! It was invented in North Bay, a truly Canadian Sport. Over the years i have heard all the chirps from ringette from my high school jock friends to girl Hockey players. Ringette is a easier version of Hockey. The Ringette ring is a Donut. etc etc.

Truth be told if Ringette was Easy they would call it Hockey!! Yeah i went there.

But truthfully i have nothing against hockey. I'm just a true Ringette player at heart and it's been my life since i was in grade school. So it only naturally gets me aggravated when hockey players chirp it. Mostly because most people haven't tried it, and are ignorant to even diss it when they haven't tried it. Meanwhile I believe i can comment on Hockey caz i've actually tried the game. I love to watch guys Hockey... but don't ever make me watch Girls Hockey!! Brutal.

Most of my guy friends that have played it with us on the ODR actually have admitted that its harder then it looks to capture that ring on the stick. It's okay we always make it look Easy.

Major rules in Ringette
-pass ring over blue line to team mate.
-players can't skate through goalie crease
-goalies get possession of the ring when it goes in their crease, 5 seconds to distribute the ring to a team mate.
-There are no face-off like in hockey. Teams get possession of the ring in the circle.
-Only 3 people from each team in allowed past the ringette line.
-5 on 5

Equipment
-ringette stick
-ringette triangle visor
-Ringette pants. -> this is important. If your a ringette player that wears hockey pants, your a disgrace. Just get off the ice.
-skates, shine pads.. etc etc

Tonight my ringette team has a playoff game. Even now since i'm player in the old lady league i still get excited to play. But one major difference i have notice in this league the past few years playing in it is the additude on the ice. The older ladies playing are the most unsportsmanlike, Bitchy, Whiny, in mature players on the ice. The younger players have more respect and sportmanship then the older players.. Maybe you guys should retire, just saying. They could be my mom.


Neways Lets kick butt tonight West Ottawa.
