Okay so I'm like 12 years late but I'm a ringette player and it's a truly amazing sport, I am currently playing as an underage Junior B (U16B) player and I have seen first hand seen how many kids are so happy playing this sport. I'm also really happy that the sport got recognition like this and I hope I find more after digging around some more. Sorry for my mini happiness vent.
This is the best game to watch as a spectator (the ones who play it probably love it more!) ...fast, elegant and no brawls. A gentlemen's game for ladies!
Never mind the negative comments. Do the comments make sense? No. Ringette is a true sport with true grit and it is amazing to watch the players give their all. Trolls. That is all the negative commentary is about. So don't listen and keep on playing and supporting the wonderful game of ringette! Who really complains about a sport that promotes exercise and wellness and CANADIAN!? Seriously...
i loooooove ringette! this year our team came in second at the junior national level! it was an AMAzing week. the rick mercer report should follow that week to see some real intense ringette!
As an American, I had heard of this, but this was the first time I have ever actually seen it played. I see the similarities to hockey, but I can also see where it is very different.
I can tell you that it is WAY harder than hockey. I have been playing ringette for about 8 years now and I also play hockey. It is SO MUCH FUN. I would really really encourage you and go try out. It can take you so far in life. You can get scholarships for ringette also.
I understand that hockey is a great sport too but I hate when boy hockey players say ringette is a bad sport. I think everyone should just appreciate both sports AS TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THINGS.
Each requires its own skill set, and neither a puck nor ring is easy to control, despite appearances. One place I haven't seen ringette very often is in gymnasiums, in pick up games as with floor hockey. The equipment exists (felt ring pucks, straight sticks with rubber tipped ends) and it would be as easy to set up games, but most who play seem only willing to play on ice.
"Yet another Canadian sport I cannot play, my humiliation is complete." I really doubt he's as bad as he comes across on his show, but it wouldn't be very entertaining if he was good at everything...I shouldn't talk though because I can't play ringette to save my life.
I’ve played both sports and both are awesome. But hockey is a LOT harder because of puck control. Controlling a ring is easy once you learn the hand/eye coordination of spearing the ring. Passing is about the same. I must say that passing in Ringette helped me a LOT in hockey. But man, puck control is sooo much harder in hockey. I love both, though. Absolutely love them. Must say I live hockey more though. There’s no restriction in the five person unit and getting everyone involved at all times instead of not being able to have no restrictions to where you go and when.
I love ringette I'm in petite I'm on c but I was going to be b but there was to many players so now I'm the star on my team go XLR8 let's win this game
I don't play Ringette or Hockey and I'm a guy so I have a way bigger chance of going into Hockey instead of Ringette because of embarrassment but Ringette looks really hard. I mean spearing looks really fucking hard.
onee timee i had a ringette game after watching the playoffs(hockey) and i went into the boards with this girl and boarded her straight up against the glass... i felt bad. But i told her i had been watching hockey and she laughed... the ref didn't find it so funny :( they 'say' its non contact sport but uhm, it happens.
People can just shut up on hating on either sport you people are even making damn sexiest remarks I mean I play hockey and you ringette people are making it sound like its the easiest sport and the same go's for hockey players. God people grow up
how is stating that both my BOYS play ringette (coed) and hockey (rep) and enjoy both sports for their unique qualities have anything to do with female vs male hockey?
@Smashly61 im 12 playing jr b yeah i moved up and i am like a 16 year player and im 12 and im fast and got cool good moves watching hockey like the deks and i hate that to
@justinkatz441 and why is that? If you're going to say it's lame why don't you EXPLAIN. I want to hear one good reason as to why it's lame? It's an awesome sport! I want to see you go on skates and try to keep up with my team as well as have perfect hand-eye coordination to stab the ring! It takes skill to play ringette so don't call it lame until you try it and can actually play.
im a 12 year old playing for jr b team and i playing liek a bella a player cuz i was player from AGE 3 SKATING FROM AGE 2 NOT LAIR I SWEAR IM 12 AND PLAYING LIKE A BELL A PLAYER
Uhm..I play hockey and ringette and hockey is harder, my sister was able to receive a pass an shoot the ring basically the first practice. And someone said that ringette is faster then girls hockey, not where I come from, girls hockey is way faster then ringette.
soÉ guys can play to. girls can play hockey. why dont you just be a goalie? and ringette is a lot harder than it looks. id like to see you make a pass or recieve one
I just learned that even professionals will miss a pass, and that receiving passes is something you can get very good at, but never master because it's so difficult!
Kitkatskye1 I agree ive been playing ringette for 12 years and im 15 but my 20 year old couin plays in the cchl and I kicked his butt when we played a game of ringette
Because we skate faster and we need to be able to deek out everyone. You need to pass along the blue lines unlike in hockey where you are just extremely selfish and just skate as fast as a slug up to the net.

Ringette is awesome! Our family has been involved for 7 years and we really enjoy cheering on our daughter and her team, the Burlington Blast. Hooray!

Joyce Dias it’s fun until girls cause drama I played it since I was 5

I have wonderful memories of playing and coaching ringuette in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Québec in the early 80s!
I play ringette and it's so important to me. i don't know what i would do without it.

i completely agree with you!!!!!!!!!! in every way!!! i love ringette soooooooooooo much!!!!!
I understand that hockey is a great sport too but I hate when boy hockey players say ringette is a bad sport. I think everyone should just appreciate both sports AS TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THINGS.
Yep, they're just elitist. Both sports are wonderful.
this is doing wonders for the sport of ringette we need more air time to get the sport known
LOVE ringette been paying for 9 years :D

Wow, they're wearing Cooperalls. Haven't seen those in a long time.

Ringette looks cool, but a lot harder than hockey though. I think it would require much better reflexes and high precision.
meghanf2012 it’s just timing

So? does that make a difference? I would rather be safe then hurt.
Most of the girls I know who play this are like really smart and atheletic. I just heard of it and I was like... "is It like hockey?"
Ringette and hockey are both fun but ringette doesn't get enough credit
At that age level im shocked that the goalie isn't using a trapper and using the regular ringette goalie glove.
No. It comes from Finland and its original, its not a cheap version of Hockey in fact.
I love ringette I'm in petite I'm on c but I was going to be b but there was to many players so now I'm the star on my team go XLR8 let's win this game
oh it is. try to shoot properly too :) why dont you try both?
I don't play Ringette or Hockey and I'm a guy so I have a way bigger chance of going into Hockey instead of Ringette because of embarrassment but Ringette looks really hard. I mean spearing looks really fucking hard.
Hahaha Rick pretending to be ancient Don Cherry. :P
