How Do You Find Ringette Events in Alberta?

Updated

Start at Ringette Alberta (ringettealberta.com), the provincial governing body, to find association-wide event announcements and development opportunities. For actual game dates, times, and locations, go to the member league websites — Black Gold League Ringette and Chinook Ringette League both publish schedules, standings, and rosters by age division and tier. Confirm any date, venue, or registration detail with the host association before you travel or sign up, since league pages are updated by volunteers and can lag behind last-minute changes.

Know Which Kind of Event You're Looking For

"Ringette events Alberta" covers several different things, and they live in different places:

Event type What it is Where to look
League games Regular-season matchups between association teams Member league sites (Black Gold, Chinook) under Schedule
Standings and results Running records and leaders for each division Same league sites, under Standings / Leaders
Team rosters Who plays on which team in a division League sites, under Rosters
Tournaments and provincials Hosted competitions beyond regular league play Ringette Alberta announcements; confirm with host association
Development camps and programs Clinics and skill development for players, coaches, officials Ringette Alberta's Players, Coaches, and Officials sections

If you just want to watch a game this weekend, you want the league schedule. If you want to enter a team in a tournament or attend a camp, start with Ringette Alberta and the host association.

Find League Games on Member League Sites

The league sites organize everything by age division and competition tier, so you can jump straight to the level you care about.

Divisions published on the league sites include:

  • U10 (split into S1, S2, S3 tiers)
  • U12 (A, B, C)
  • U14 (A, B, C)
  • U16 (A, B, C)
  • U19 (A, B)
  • Adult/AS (shown on the Chinook site)

Steps to locate a specific game:

  1. Open the member league site (Black Gold League Ringette or Chinook Ringette League).
  2. Select the age division and tier that matches the team you follow — for example, U14B or U19A.
  3. Open Schedule for dates, times, and venues, or Standings and Leaders for results.
  4. Use Rosters to confirm which association a team belongs to. Team codes are abbreviated by association — for example, EDM for Edmonton-area teams, STA, SPK, SGV, RDR, LAC, FSK, FMC, BMT, and so on.
  5. Cross-check the venue and time with the host association's own page before attending.

Expected result: you'll have a specific game, division, and location rather than a general "there's ringette somewhere" answer.

Filter by Division and Tier

The A/B/C tier system tells you the competitive level, and the S1/S2/S3 split does the same at the younger ages. This matters when you're choosing what to attend:

  • A tiers generally represent the higher competitive stream within an age group.
  • B and C tiers sit below that, with C often the broadest entry level.
  • U10 S1/S2/S3 is the youngest grouping, split into three tiers.

Pick the division first (based on the player's age), then the tier (based on level). If you're unsure which tier a team plays in, the roster listing under each division will show you the team codes.

Use Ringette Alberta for Programs and Provincial Events

Ringette Alberta's site is organized around Players, Coaches, Officials, and Play Ringette. Use it when your question is broader than "when is the next game":

  • Looking for development opportunities or clinics
  • Wanting to register as a player, coach, or official
  • Needing provincial-level event or program information
  • Trying to find the right association to join in the first place

The site does not publish prices or registration fees in the material available, so treat any cost question as something to confirm directly with the association or host.

Confirm Before You Go

League schedules are maintained by volunteers and can change. Before attending a game or registering for an event:

  • Check the host association's own page for the latest time and venue.
  • Confirm registration deadlines and requirements with the host, not just the league listing.
  • For tournaments and provincials, verify entry details with Ringette Alberta or the hosting association.

Quick Answer

For game schedules and standings, go to the Black Gold or Chinook league sites and filter by division and tier. For programs, camps, and provincial events, start at Ringette Alberta. For anything you plan to attend or pay for, confirm with the host association first.
