50th Anniversary Reception
December 22, 2024 — That's a wrap! We were more than pleased with the turnout and sentiments shared at the 50th anniversary celebrations held alongside the Michelle Vandale Spirit of Winter Tournament on Friday, December 13 and Saturday, December 14 at the George Preston Arena in Langley.
The Friday night Heritage Game was delivered as part of the tournament's opening ceremonies and saw ringette alumni take the ice for a short game demonstrating "old rules" ringette. Ringette fashions through the decades were modelled by current ringette players, while teams in attendance performed their best cheers and displayed their team posters.
Despite high winds in the Lower Mainland on the Saturday, more than 70 people were in attendance at the anniversary reception, which featured ringette memorabilia from years past, a chance to connect with ringette friends and acquaintances, memories shared, and presentations about ringette history. The day was a great blend of past, present, and future - setting the stage for the next 50 years of ringette.
We would like to thank our sponsors for supporting the event, making it possible for us to reconnect with each other.
