We are excited to kick off another great tournament weekend filled with teamwork and action-packed ringette! This year, we have added new events to make the weekend even more special. One of these events is the Opening Ceremonies, which will take place on Friday, December 1 at 6:30 PM at Balgonie Stardome.
We encourage all teams to attend and participate in the Opening Ceremonies. This will be a chance for teams to showcase their team spirit and creativity. We are asking each team to create a team banner or poster to bring to the opening ceremonies. These banners will be displayed during the team introductions. Additionally, we want teams to come dressed in their team colors and gear to show off their pride.
During the opening ceremonies, all teams will gather in the mezzanine area of Balgonie rink. When their team is announced, they will be asked to walk to a specific area in the stands and make some noise. We will have prizes for the teams with the greatest team spirit and the most creative banner. This will be a fun and exciting way to start off the tournament weekend.
After the opening ceremonies, there will be a showcase game between the U of R Cougars Ringette team and the U19AA Bandits. This game will be a highlight for all our athletes to enjoy. It promises to be action-packed and full of skillful plays.
We are looking forward to an excellent weekend of ringette. Let's come together as a community, support each other, and showcase the true spirit of the sport. Good luck to all the teams and let's make this tournament weekend one to remember!
