Children's Ringette

Children’s Ringette includes Active Start, U10 and U12. The focus of the Children’s Ringette program is on fun and maximum participation.

• Active Start plays 3 vs 3 plus goalies on a cross-ice format with small-size nets 
• U10 Step 1 and Step 2 play 3 vs 3 plus goalies on a half-ice format with small-size nets
• U10 Step 3 plays 5 vs 5 plus goalies on full ice format
• U12 plays 5 vs 5 plus goalies on full ice format with the introduction of shot clocks
• See the Ringette Calgary “Children’s Ringette Policy” and “Appendix 8 Ice Markings” for more info on technical details.

The Children’s Ringette program was introduced in the 2019/20 season and is applicable to all associations in Alberta — check our Feb 2019 blog post for more info on the history of these changes.
