A few have asked me about ringette in the past. I used to play when I was growing up. It is a game played on an ice skating rink, but it isn't hockey. Now that women are playing hockey, it is kind of losing a bit of popularity, but when I grew up, it is what you played in the winter if you were into sports. It isn't hockey, the stick has no blade, and there is a ring instead of puck. If you care to see a peak at what it is all about, here's a live stream link to the under19 Canadian championships happening right now...
