Ringette Nova Scotia - Antigonish |
Ringette has been played in Nova Scotia since the early 1970s. Antigonish used to be a Hub of Ringette in NS, and we want to rebuild it so that a new generation of young players can enjoy this much-loved sport. Building on last season's program, and with support from the Antigonish Arena and the ST FX Ringette team, we are offering two new sessions of Intro 2 Ringette at the Antigonish Arena on Saturdays from 10AM-11AM, as follows:
Fall Session: October 25-December 13 (8 sessions) for $165
Winter Session: January 10 - March 7 (9 sessions) for $180
What is Ringette?
Ringette is a uniquely Canadian winter ice sport - often dubbed the fastest sport on ice! The main objective of Ringette is to use a stick to shoot a ring into the opposing team's goal. The team with the highest score at the end wins. Ringette is a great choice if you're looking for a safe, competitive sport for your child. They'll learn to skate, pass, and play on a team - all while making friends and having fun!

What is “Intro 2 Ringette”?
Intro 2 Ringette is a safe, fun, low-cost program that will introduce players 4-13 years old to the sport of Ringette. Intro 2 Ringette components include rules orientation, basic strategies of the game, and time to practice the basics of ring control.
Each Intro 2 Ringette session is 50 minutes in length and is led by certified instructors who are trained to break down and teach skills to brand new players in a low instructor-to-participant ratio.
All of our instructors have coach training and experience, including Safe Sport training, and most are members of the St FX University Ringette team. And they are all excited to share their love of ringette with you and your child!
Not only are we going to teach your child how to skate and play Ringette, but we are also going to introduce them to a world that:
- builds confidence
- supports creativity
- creates friendships that last a lifetime!
What you need:
Here is the best part - Intro 2 Ringette has been designed to introduce participants to the sport in a safe, no-contact manner that requires minimal equipment. This enables us to offer Intro 2 Ringette as a low-cost program that is more easily accessible for anyone who is not yet prepared to invest in a full equipment purchase!
Participants require only the following:
- helmet with face mask
- Gloves or heavy mittens
- Skates
- Warm clothes (snow pants are also recommended to help keep dry)
Of course, participants are always encouraged and welcome to wear additional equipment if they have it. And we have helmets and cages that can be loaned out for the duration of the program. Just ask us!
Is there an opportunity for me to become involved as a parent?
Yes! We welcome all interested community members to help us rebuild the Antigonish ringette community. Please contact Stacey at execdirector@ringette.ns.ca for information on how to get involved.
