What is Ringette?
Ringette is a dynamic, non-contact sport played on ice, similar to hockey but with unique rules and equipment. Instead of a puck, players use a rubber ring, and instead of sticks, they use straight sticks to pass, carry, and shoot the ring. The game emphasizes speed, agility, and teamwork, making it a thrilling experience for players and spectators alike.
