What age did you start playing ringette? How did you start? I started playing when I was 4 or 5 years old and the reason being was because my parents thought it’d be a good idea to put me in to learn how to skate. My sister also played at the Petite level and she loved it, therefore making my parents put me in too.
If someone was wondering whether or not they should play ringette, what would you say to them? I would tell them that they never know how much they could love this game without ever playing it. The amount of memories, friends and experiences I have collected through this game in innumerable. Playing ringette is much more than a sport and you can only understand this if you play. It becomes more than a game and something to do on a weeknight... it becomes your life and I say that in the best way possible. Trying something new can lead you to fall in love with a sport and can make your life a million times better.
