ETOBICOKE RINGETTE ASSOCIATION

-
We provide an opportunity for girls and young
women to play the ice sport of ringette in
west Toronto (Etobicoke). Rep teams travel
outside the Toronto area, throughout
Southern Ontario.
-
Skating is emphasized as is fitness,
coordination, judgment, teamwork, positional
play
and sportsmanship. Great opportunity for girls
to have fun and stay fit.
-
Ringette is an alternative ice sport to hockey.
Some of our members play both ringette
and hockey, but they typically find ringette a
faster, more team-oriented skating sport in
comparison. Unlike hockey, body checking
is prohibited. Ringette equipment also
differs
slightly from hockey gear. Interested?
Read more
about the sport of ringette and how it
differs from hockey.
-
Skating lessons are offered for young children
(both girls and boys) in our
learn-to-skate program.
-
These skating lessons form an excellent
foundation to support later play in either
ringette or hockey, or both.
-
Skating skills progress through the season,
followed by stick-handling lessons.

Non-profit volunteer sports organization founded
in 1967.
