Ringette is an exciting, unique winter sport, open to players of all ages, genders, and skill levels. The Terrace Ringette Association has close to 200 registered players every season - with one or more teams in all divisions. Players range from age 3 to 18. Every year, we also aim to have an adult flex or open league, for players over 18, who want to come out and have some fun.
Throughout the season, which lasts fro September to March, most divisions practice twice a week. The practice schedule is released at the start of each month and is usually fairly consistent throughout the season. In addition to practicing in Terrace, teams travel throughout BC and sometimes Alberta to participate in tournaments throughout the year. This is optional. We also host our own tournament every year at the end of October.
The Terrace Ringette Association was created more than 25 years ago and as of 2025, is the largest association in the Northern League, which consists of Ringette Associations in Prince George, Quesnel and Smithers. We are all part of Ringette BC and in turn, Ringette Canada.
Over the years, Terrace Ringette teams have won Provincial Championships and medals in many other invitational tournaments, making a name for themselves.
ABOUT the sport of ringette
Ringette is an exciting, unique winter ice sport open to players of all ages, genders, and skill levels.
Yes - it is similar to hockey, but there's also many differences. Ringette players use a specially designed straight stick to pass, carry, and shoot a rubber ring to score goals. The ring must be passed over specific blue lines on the ice, making it a collaborative sport, with excellent opportunities for players to develop their individual skills and work well with their teammates. Ringette is a non-contact sport.
