Description
Langley Advance newspaper clipping from September 9, 1976 entitled: "Ringette girls' to register Sunday". The article is about registration for ringette and attracting more girls to the game.
The article explains that the registration fee is set at $27, a little more than half the $45 charged last year. Last year's fee, which was considerably more than the previous year, resulted in a big drop in registrations.
According to the article, registration will take place September 11th at the Langley Civic Arena and the Aldergrove Arena. The article explains what the sport is for the "uninitiated":
"Ringette is a girls answers to boys' minor hockey. It is a Canadian game having been invented in 1965 by Sam Jacks, director of parks and recreation for North Bay, Ont."
According to the B.C. Ringette Association, "ringette can be played on any outdoor or indoor rink on which hockey is played. It is a team sport consisting of 11 to 18 players on a team with six players on the ice at one time: two forwards, one centre, two defence and a goalie. The girls wear skates, must wear a helmet and mouth guard, must wear some form of glove, tight fitting slacks, and a warm sweater. No other protective equipment is necessary, however, goal pads may be worn if desired."
More rules about ringette game play are explained in the article.
The age groups for ringette are Petites (10 and under), Tweens (11 to 13), Belles (14 to 16), and Teens (17 and over).
