Title A name given to the resource True grit Description An account of the resource Langley Advance newspaper article written by Rick Rake published on December 10, 1980 entitled: "True grit." The article is the reporter's conversation with a ringette player about covering ringette in the newspaper. The report explains that they met a ringette player while covering a boxing competition at Aldergrove Senior Secondary school. When the topic arose of the reporter covering hockey games, the girl asked "what about ringette?". The reporter explained that he had rekindled his relationship with Langley Ringette president Mrs. Chenier and had an agreement that they would work 50-50 on ringette future public relations. He writes "in the past ringette has been a touchy subject - what kind of coverage did it really deserve?". The reporter then does a quick run down of ringette explaining that the sport was adopted from Ontario and is played primarily by females. Langley has 7 teams (98 girls) and have bright shiny black, red, and white jackets. Four games are played each Saturday morning at the Langley Civic Centre between 10:15am and 1:15pm in three divisions - Petites, Tweens, and Belles. There will be a rep tournament in Port Coquitlam over the Christmas break and then starting March 27 Langley will host the provincial ringette championships. The reporter suggests "you look at the game yourself and judge whether or not you like it. Its [sic] fine by me."
