Ringette is a very fast and fun non-contact ice sport that involves skating and teamwork. Five skaters and a goalie are on the ice for both teams. Ringette has elements in common with basketball and lacrosse. Ringette being an ice sport is similar but quite different from hockey in several ways: Equipment, Rules, & Player Skills.
The game is played with a bladeless stick and a rubber ring. Players wear protective equipment and sports skates. Ringette is often called the "Fastest Game on Ice!" One rule that speeds up the game is that a player cannot carry the ring over a blueline. This rule encourages teamwork, passing, and reinforces positional playing skills. Also, there are no offsides. Ringette players develop excellent skating skills, coordination, and judgement. Ringette is known for fast passing and agile skating. Ringette emphasizes player safety. Penalties are swift for any intentional body contact or raising a stick above the shoulders. A special ringette facemask prevents eye injuries. Goalies are protected by a wide exclusive crease.
Ringette combines the speed of hockey, the teamplay of soccer, and the rapid transitions of basketball and lacrosse making it a fun and challenging sport, and truly the fastest game on ice.
· Ringette is played on a rink like a hockey rink.
· There are five "free pass circles" on the ice, two in each end and one at center ice. Free pass circles are used to start play. Each circle is divided in half, and a team starts play with the ring on the ice in their half of the circle.
· The bluelines divide the ice into three zones. From one team’s perspective, there is the offensive zone (the opponent’s end), the neutral zone (the middle of the ice), and the defensive zone. The center redline is not used in ringette. Just inside the blue line in each end of the ice, a thin redline runs across the ice, touching the top of the free pass circles in each end. This line is called the “free play line”.
· The goalie’s crease is a semi-circle around the goalmouth, 8’ (2.44.m) radius.
A team at regular strength plays with a center, two forwards (wingers), two defenders, and goalie.
Teams can change players on the ice during a stoppage in play, or they can change “on-the-fly”. If changing on-the-fly, no more than the regulation number of players can get involved in the play, or a penalty is called for too many players on the ice. During youngsters’ games, a 2-minute buzzer is used for line changes.
A ringette game is typically organized in two halves of 15 to 20-minutes duration (depending on the level of play).
To start play, the referee places a ring on the ice in the visiting team’s half of the center Free Pass Circle. There are no “offsides” in ringette, so players can lineup anywhere on the ice. The referee blows the whistle, and the player in the Free Pass Circle has 5-seconds to pass the ring into play. The referee counts the 5-seconds and signals each passing second by extending their arm. No player is allowed in the Free Pass Circle except the player making the pass. The pass must go beyond the free pass circle, and the passer cannot receive her own pass.
If play is stopped, the referee will award the ring to one team or the other, depending on the reason for the stoppage in play. Unless a team is awarded the ring in its defensive end, the team puts the ring back into play with a free pass from the Free Pass Circle nearest to where the stoppage in play was caused.
At “A” level competitions for Petite and older players, a 30-second Shot Clock is used. The clock starts when a team gains possession. If they have not taken a shot on net within 30-seconds, a horn sounds, and the ring is awarded to the other team.
No player from either team, except the goaltender, is allowed to enter the goalie’s crease, or to play a ring that lies in the crease. If any part of the ring is touching the crease line, the ring is considered to be in the crease.
If a ring enters the crease, the referee will start a 5-second count, extending their arm to signal each second. The goalie must put the ring back into play within 5-seconds. Failure to do so results in a whistle, and a Free Pass for the offensive side, from one of the Free Pass Circles near the goalie.
The goalie can throw or pass the ring to teammates, but cannot throw or pass the ring to herself, and cannot throw the ring past her own blueline.
