Ringette is a fast-paced, non-contact Canadian ice sport played with a straight stick, a hollow rubber ring, and skates, emphasizing teamwork, passing, and speed over brute force, with unique rules like mandatory ring passing over blue lines, making it similar to basketball or lacrosse on ice, despite its hockey-like rink and equipment.
Created in 1963, it's played by all genders and focuses on skill, strategy, and inclusive participation, with the goal of shooting the ring into the opponent's net.
