The Executive team during this very difficult time would like to send out a message to our Ringette community to be safe. We share in your disappointment and look forward to everyone’s return to the ice once we get past the risk imposed by COVID-19. Stay Positive and see you soon!!! Don’t be afraid; BE SMART.
