Squashing Common Ringette Misconceptions

  • Ringette sticks are not hockey sticks with the blades cut off
  • And no, our pants are not “Roller hockey pants” or Philadelphia Flyers pants in 1981-1982
  • Ringette is a COED sport, not “Hockey for women”
  • Why are ringette cages different from hockey? The end of ringette stick can fit through the squares of a conventional hockey mask. Ringette masks are made up of small triangles
  • There is no offside in ringette
  • There are no faceoffs in ringette
  • Ringette is made up of 2 periods (or 4 when playing higher level competitively), not 3
