Each week, Ringette Ontario wants to showcase a ringette team as Team of the Week on their website!  

Why not one - or all - of our awesome Ajax Pickering teams?!  

They're looking for teams that are "owning" different arenas in their lives... giving back through the sport of ringette, academics, community involvement, volunteering, etc.  

Interested in nominating your team? Head to the Ringette Ontario website and tell us why!  Click to read more details on submissions.

Ringette Ontario's Risk & Audit Committee is forming a working group to build a Risk Registry.  Because we know how important it is to create a risk registry which addresses the issues found directly within Associations, we wanted to do a call out directly to ringette families.  We are looking for individuals who may have work experience in this area and who would be willing to be a part of a short-term project of 2-3 months.

If you or you know of anyone in your organization who would be interested in being a part of this working group, please email Pam Julian, Executive Director of Ringette Ontario.  

Congratulations to Pickering's U9 team that took home the Silver at the Oshawa Tournament this weekend!!

Awesome job U9 team!!!!!!!!

Her nickname is “Smiley”. 

Kaitlyn McGillen earned that nickname from one of her ringette coaches because she’s always smiling.  Even when that coach thought he could wipe the smile off her face, the harder he worked her on ice, the more she smiled!  

Kaitlyn’s hard work and passion for ringette paid off this year.  She is the only player from Central Region to make Team Ontario.

Evelyn Morrissey began playing ringette in Ajax in 1968 (white jersey).

Janis Mitchell began playing ringette in Ajax in 1971 (red jersey).

Both Evelyn and Janis learned the game of ringette from Ruth Bennett.  Ruth brought the rules of the game to Ajax and Pickering in the late 60's, because a few women and girls wanted to play a sport on the ice that wasn't hockey. All three women played together in those early years and quickly grew to love the game.

The Ajax Pickering Ringette Association was honoured to recently meet with these two fascinating women and hear their stories about the early days of ringette in Ajax.
