EnglishWhat Is Ringette Calgary Association?
Updated
Ringette Calgary Association is the governing body for the sport of ringette in Calgary, Alberta, and the host association of the Esso Golden Ring. Its website (ringettecalgary.ca) is the association's public information hub — the place to check for league news, registration, contacts, and Respect in Sport information. If you are a player, parent, coach, official, or volunteer looking for the Calgary ringette organization, this is the official starting point.
What the organization does
The site describes Ringette Calgary as the governing body for ringette in Calgary. Two roles stand out:
- Governing body — it oversees the sport locally and organizes its programs and leagues.
- Host association of the Esso Golden Ring — the association is tied to this tournament, and the site includes a call for an Esso Golden Ring volunteer trainee (a schedule assistant role working with the existing master scheduler, requiring very high-level Excel skills; interest goes to [email protected]).
The site also points to a separate History site covering the association from its first season in 1977, including the note that "Calgary Ringette" joined "Ringette Alberta" in July 1978.
What you can find on the site
The site's stated sections are News, League, Registration, Information, Contacts, and Respect in Sport. In practice, the news area carries a mix of results, awards, and volunteer notices:
| Topic | What the site reports |
|---|---|
| Tournament results | NW U14A RIOT placed 2nd at the Turkey Ring in St. Albert; SCal U14A Strike placed 1st and SCal U14A Charge placed 2nd at the Ava Esposito Memorial in Cochrane |
| Scholarships | Ashley Chapman received the $1,000 "2015 Western Canadian Ringette Championships Legacy Scholarships"; Emily Johnson is the 2025/26 recipient of the Don Henderson Memorial Ringette Scholarship at the University of Calgary |
| Board vacancies | President, VP Administration, Children's Ringette, Coach Development, and Sport Development, with job descriptions linked |
| Inclusion program | A Ringette for All (RFA) program for children with cognitive and/or physical disabilities, described as inclusive, safe, and fun, teaching sport fundamentals and life skills |
| Team photos | Teams can submit a Tournament Attendance Form to have a photo included in a post |
The Don Henderson scholarship has a specific history: Ringette Calgary set up a ringette scholarship at the University of Calgary in 1989, and it was renamed in 1993 after Don Henderson, one of the people who started ringette in Calgary.
Who the site is for
- Families new to the sport — use the Registration and Information sections to understand how to join; the site does not publish fees or dates in the material reviewed, so confirm current details through the Contacts page.
- Current members — the League and News sections carry results and association updates.
- Coaches, officials, and volunteers — the board vacancies and the Esso Golden Ring scheduler trainee posting are the relevant entries; both show the association recruits beyond players.
- Families of children with disabilities — the Ringette for All program is the specific entry point to look for.
Practical notes before you rely on it
- The site is a news and information hub, not a registration portal in itself; registration details sit under the Registration section, and current pricing is not stated in the reviewed material.
- Tournament results and scholarship announcements are posted as news items, so check the News section for the latest rather than expecting a fixed results database.
- For anything time-sensitive — registration windows, tryout dates, board application deadlines — use the Contacts section to reach the association directly, since the reviewed pages do not list those dates.
In short: ringettecalgary.ca is the official site of Calgary's ringette governing body and Esso Golden Ring host association, best used for league news, registration guidance, volunteer opportunities, and program information such as Ringette for All.
