                <text>Newspaper clipping from the Aldergrove Star newspaper entitled "Ringette registration December 1st" published on November 21, 1973. &#13;
&#13;
The article is about a parents meeting for ringette that was held on November 11. At the meeting the mothers of the players voted to have the Canadian Standard Association helmet purchased by the executive to sell to the girls. &#13;
&#13;
Parents are responsible for buying a mouthguard and to see that the girls have elbow pads. &#13;
&#13;
The article states that until the rule about Canadian Standard helmets is in effect, the girls can wear helmets belonging to their brothers. &#13;
&#13;
Registration for the new season of ringette is Saturday, December 1 from 10 until 12 noon at the following places: Lorne's Lumber (Aldergrove), Fort Langley Community Hall (Fort Langley), and the Langley Civic Arena (Langley). &#13;
&#13;
Parents must bring their registration fee ($10 for first girl and $5 for second girl) which covers the insurance. Girls are not allowed on the ice without insurance. The $10 also includes a sweater and a hockey stick. &#13;
&#13;
Figure skates and other skates are permissible. The article reads: "If you have to buy a new pair boy's hockey skates are recommended."&#13;
&#13;
The executive consists of the following people: Trudy Cuthbert (Chairman), Bob Bailey (Vice-Chairman), Eileen Carpenter (Corresponding Secretary), Linda Taylor (Recording Secretary), Roberta Bailey (Treasurer), Fred Boyd (Head Coach from the Trinity Western College), and Pat Rawluk (Players Representative from Fort Langley). &#13;
&#13;
The Advisory Committee consists of R.F. Puffer (Aldergrove), Mrs. (Chris) Bisset (Fort Langley), Roy English (Langley) and Don Neumann (Langley). &#13;
&#13;
The article concludes by saying that the executive is going to approach various service clubs to see if they will sponsor a team. </text>

                  <text>The collection was compiled by Beverley Ann Felske (Evans) (July 13, 1938 —December 12, 2020). Beverley (Bev) Felske was a founding Director on the inaugural board of directors for the British Columbia Ringette Association, which introduced ringette to the province. &#13;

                <text>Langley Advance Newspaper article from September 5, 1979 entitled "Resounding exuberance returns rubber ring". The article is about the upcoming ringette season and takes the opportunity to explain what the sport is. &#13;
&#13;
"Ringette is a girls' winter sport similar to hockey, played with 16 member teams, but using am air-filled rubber ring, rather than a puck, and a stick without a blade."&#13;
&#13;
A registration sheet is quoted as saying that ringette "was uniquely designed for girls with their safety in mind."&#13;
&#13;
A three-minute buzzer is used for shift changes to ensure that all players get an equal chance on the ice. The article explains that the blue line rule cuts down on body contact and also eliminates single-handed efforts because a minimum of two passes are necessary in travelling the length of the ice. &#13;
&#13;
Equipment includes a C.S.A. approved helmet and mouthguard, any kind of gloves, a hockey stick minus the blade and skates. Face masks are recommended and are mandatory for all-star teams. &#13;
&#13;
The article explains that last year, 60 girls played ringette in Langley, with a larger number playing in Aldergrove. &#13;
&#13;
The Langley Ringette Association is planning to increase acceptance of the sport locally with a 'ringette day', where there will be coverage by cable television.  Practices are held Thursday evenings with games being played on Saturdays. Registration is from 10am to 2pm at the Langley Civic Centre. Contacts for the association are Margaret Blight and Ros Borg. </text>
