                  <text>The collection was compiled by Yvonne Johnson (née Devuyst) of Langley, BC. &#13;
&#13;
Yvonne began playing ringette in Aldergrove with the Langley Municipality Ringette league in January of 1974 —British Columbia's inaugural ringette season. Since 1974, Yvonne has not missed registering for a single year of ringette and is still playing ringette today, 50 years later. This makes Yvonne arguably the longest consecutive playing ringette athlete in the world. &#13;
&#13;
Yvonne played primarily a goaltender until 1980,  before switching to defence and playing goal from time to time. When the Langley Municipal Ringette league split into the Langley Ringette Association and the Aldergrove Ringette Association (1975), Yvonne played with the Langley Ringette Association. She then played for Fraser Valley Ringette when when the Langley and Aldergrove Ringette Associations amalgamated in 1995. &#13;
&#13;
In 1982, Yvonne was selected to represent BC at the Canadian Ringette Nationals in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. She would go on to represent BC at five national championships. &#13;
&#13;
Yvonne served as a head instructor for many ringette schools and camps throughout BC for more than 15 years, including Camp Cheekeye, the first overnight ringette camp held in the province, and the long running Osoyoos Ringette School. &#13;
&#13;
Yvonne participated in an exchange program with a synchronized swim team from Hull, Québec that saw a large group of ringette players from BC visit and billed with a group of swim team members from Hull, and vice-versa. &#13;
&#13;
Other activities on a national level that Yvonne was a part of include assisting with two Ringette Canada publications while representing BC on the Ringette Canada Sport Development and the Safety and Equipment Committee over two years. &#13;
&#13;
In 1984, Yvonne began her coaching career when she was 18 and took a team to Fraser Lake for a friendship tournament. In 1990, she assisted with the Lower Mainland Jr. All-Star (AA) team and she continued to coach through the years, including her grandchildren. &#13;
&#13;
As an administrator, Yvonne was a board member of the Langley Ringette Association, the Fraser Valley Ringette Association, the BC Ringette Association, and the Chilliwack Ringette Association, serving many roles on the executive. &#13;
&#13;
Today, Yvonne plays for the Chilliwack Ringette Association and continues to volunteer with the Michelle Vandale Memorial Spirit of Winter Tournament Committee where she also chairs the tournament's scholarship committee. And, is currently serving as the Membership Coordinator for the West Coast Ringette Historical Society. &#13;
&#13;
Yvonne was inducted into the Ringette BC Hall of Fame in the builder category in 2023. &#13;

                <text>Langley Advance newspaper clipping of a letter to the editor published February 14, 1974 entitled: "Ringette girls very grateful for assistance." The letter was submitted by Eileen Carpenter, Secretary of Langley Ringette. &#13;
&#13;
The letter expresses gratitude on behalf of the 280 girls and coaches of Langley Ringette to the municipality who have offered much needed help during the first year of ringette. Eileen thanks the Langley newspapers who have helped to publicize the sport through articles and photographs, as well as the 14 sponsors who provided each player with a new sweater to wear during games. She went on to thank businesses who donated paint, plywood, doors and materials used to build a storage room and paint ringette sticks. She thanked Aldergrove ringette for the 13 hours of weekly ice time, as well as the referees, and time keepers.  &#13;
&#13;
The letter acknowledges a $2,000 grant received from the provincial government for ice time, the municipality for the $1,500 grant, and thanks the Langley Recreation commission for financial, moral and personnel assistance. Eileen states the budget for ringette was over $9,000. </text>

                <text>Article from the Surrey Leader newspaper entitled "Nationwide sport had smalltown start," which was published on November 14, 1990 for National Ringette Week. &#13;
&#13;
The article explains that the sport of ringette is being featured at the 1991 Canada Winter Games for the first time, and a second World Championship tournament will be held in Finland in 1992. &#13;
&#13;
National championships will be played in Hull, Quebec in April, marking the tournament's 13 anniversary. &#13;
&#13;
The article goes on to say that the sport was invented in North Bay, Ontario by the late Sam Jacks in 1963. &#13;
&#13;
Now, ringette has 60,000 participants. &#13;
&#13;
The Surrey Ringette Association is welcoming boys to join. Ringette in Surrey and Delta trace its beginnings to the mid-1980s when associations in both communities began operations. &#13;
&#13;
The article explains that Surrey ringette is in its 6th season, meaning it was established in 1984. It currently has 60 players. &#13;
&#13;
The Delta Ringette Association was established in 1994-95 and has 83 players. &#13;
&#13;
The article explains how the sport of ringette is played. &#13;

                <text>Newspaper clipping from the Aldergrove Star newspaper dated October 10, 1973 entitled "New winter sport for female girls." &#13;
&#13;
The article speaks of how the Langley Recreation Commission is attempting to introduce a new winter sport in the area. The article explains that the sport was invented in Ontario in 1969 and is "played by girls between the ages of 9 and 17 and is an adaption from minor hockey but is played with red, white, and blue sticks and a soft rubber ring instead of ordinary hockey sticks and a hard puck."&#13;
&#13;
The article explains that the teams in ringette are Petites (9 and 10 year olds), Tweenies (11 to 13), Belles (14-16_ and Ladies, 17 and older. &#13;
&#13;
A survey was sent hom with students to gauge interest in the sport. Trudy Cuthbert expressed that if enough interest was forthcoming then the game will be played at the new ice arena in Aldergrive and will be a first in Western Canada. &#13;
&#13;
Coaches clinics will. be held and team members will be bussed to the Aldergrove Arena. Equipment needed is nominal - just a pair of skates, helmet and a mouthguard. &#13;
&#13;
The article states that ringette is less dangerous than "normal girl's ice hockey". &#13;
&#13;
Eileen Carpenter and Trudy Cuthbert are the women to call for more information. </text>

&#13;
One caption reads: "Dropping the first ring to officially open the ringette hockey season last Saturday at the Aldergrove arena was alderman Dan Kitsul. Preceeding the opening face-off, chairman of the Langley Recreation Commission, Trever Beggs, addressed a crowd of over 300 spectators who attended the opening ceremonies."&#13;
&#13;
Photographs show participants on ice and in the stands wearing helmets, mouth guards, gloves, knee pads, a jersey, and hockey or figure skates. Some participants are wearing shorts. &#13;
&#13;
According to the newspaper, there are 280 girls and 14 teams in the Langley Ringette Association who cheered on the first ringette game held at the Aldergrove Arena. &#13;

                <text>Newspaper article from the September 19, 1974 Langley Advance entitled: "Nobody will help ringette girls".  The article is about the urgent need for ringette coaches in order for the ringette league to be viable in Langley. &#13;
&#13;
The article states that "Langley will have to pull out of the ringette rep league and the number of house league teams will have to be restricted to 14 teams and 200 girls with more emphasis on casual practising on an unorganized basis if there is not a better response from parents and older teenagers."&#13;
&#13;
The article goes on to say that Don Smith was elected president of the association at the AGM succeeding Trudy Cuthbert. Don Guggisberg and Pat Rawluk were named first and second vice-presidents with Freda Parsons as secretary and Bob Bailey as treasurer. Members of the executive are Wendy Glover, Dan Neumann, Anne Cindrich, Aarlene Carpenter and Mrs. G.P. Rawluck. &#13;
&#13;
At the AGM, it was unanimous that the "Langley and Aldergrove groups would stay as one association and that the emphasis would be on the recreation aspect with every participating girl receiving a crest rather than having a trophy system."&#13;
&#13;
The article reports that steps have been taken to form a provincial organization under the name of the B.C. Ringette Association with a meeting called for October 6th at 8pm at the Langley Civic Arena. </text>

                  <text>The collection was compiled by Yvonne Johnson (née Devuyst) of Langley, BC. &#13;
&#13;
Yvonne began playing ringette in Aldergrove with the Langley Municipality Ringette league in January of 1974 —British Columbia's inaugural ringette season. Since 1974, Yvonne has not missed registering for a single year of ringette and is still playing ringette today, 50 years later. This makes Yvonne arguably the longest consecutive playing ringette athlete in the world. &#13;
&#13;
Yvonne played primarily a goaltender until 1980,  before switching to defence and playing goal from time to time. When the Langley Municipal Ringette league split into the Langley Ringette Association and the Aldergrove Ringette Association (1975), Yvonne played with the Langley Ringette Association. She then played for Fraser Valley Ringette when when the Langley and Aldergrove Ringette Associations amalgamated in 1995. &#13;
&#13;
In 1982, Yvonne was selected to represent BC at the Canadian Ringette Nationals in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. She would go on to represent BC at five national championships. &#13;
&#13;
Yvonne served as a head instructor for many ringette schools and camps throughout BC for more than 15 years, including Camp Cheekeye, the first overnight ringette camp held in the province, and the long running Osoyoos Ringette School. &#13;
&#13;
Yvonne participated in an exchange program with a synchronized swim team from Hull, Québec that saw a large group of ringette players from BC visit and billed with a group of swim team members from Hull, and vice-versa. &#13;
&#13;
Other activities on a national level that Yvonne was a part of include assisting with two Ringette Canada publications while representing BC on the Ringette Canada Sport Development and the Safety and Equipment Committee over two years. &#13;
&#13;
In 1984, Yvonne began her coaching career when she was 18 and took a team to Fraser Lake for a friendship tournament. In 1990, she assisted with the Lower Mainland Jr. All-Star (AA) team and she continued to coach through the years, including her grandchildren. &#13;
&#13;
As an administrator, Yvonne was a board member of the Langley Ringette Association, the Fraser Valley Ringette Association, the BC Ringette Association, and the Chilliwack Ringette Association, serving many roles on the executive. &#13;
&#13;
Today, Yvonne plays for the Chilliwack Ringette Association and continues to volunteer with the Michelle Vandale Memorial Spirit of Winter Tournament Committee where she also chairs the tournament's scholarship committee. And, is currently serving as the Membership Coordinator for the West Coast Ringette Historical Society. &#13;
&#13;
Yvonne was inducted into the Ringette BC Hall of Fame in the builder category in 2023. &#13;
