HISTORY OF RINGETTE Ringette is a unique winter team sport developed in 1963, by the late Mr. Sam Jacks, Director of Parks & Recreation of North Bay, Ontario. Originally designed to be a unique winter team sport for girls and an alternative to hockey, ringette has evolved into a fast paced, exciting sport that combines the speed of hockey with the strategy of basketball or lacrosse. The first game played in Espanola, Ontario, was nothing like the sport of today. First introduced in Sherwood Park, Alberta in 1974. Sherwood Park was the first community in Alberta to introduce ringette and has since never looked back. Ringette is now considered an international sport with participating teams from Canada, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Czechoslovakia and the United States competing in the World Ringette Championships held every two year.
