They wonder why people think it's like hockey. When asked about it their snotty in reply. It looks very similar. In fact I call bullshit, it is like hockey. LIKE. Looks great though, seems quicker.
@infernalsatan I play both and I find that if you like aggression and body checking, choose hockey but overall I think ringette is the better sport. It's more enjoyable without offsides and once you find out how to stab the ring and hang onto it, it becomes an amazing and fun game. I love it :)
I have been playing both ringette and hockey since I was 5 with my team Chatham thunder! Ringette has taken my family all over the country! Gawsh I love this sport! Ringette is my favourite!
onee timee i had a ringette game after watching the playoffs(hockey) and i went into the boards with this girl and boarded her straight up against the glass... i felt bad. But i told her i had been watching hockey and she laughed... the ref didn't find it so funny :( they 'say' its non contact sport but uhm, it happens.
Honestly, it's like comparing Football and Baseball.. Both sports have their merits, difficulties, and challenges. You can't compare two sports, it's like comparing songs from different genres.. everyone has their own taste.
TO EVERYONE TROLLING/COMPARING IT TO HOCKEY: I've played ringette for 14 years, hockey for 10. Hockey: Stickhandling is harder- a huge part of hockey & a tough skill to master. Ringette: Spearing (a pass) is harder- rings can't really be tipped like a puck can & the timing is CRUCIAL; if you have your hockey stick lined up & cushion it properly it is much easier to receive. Skating with a ring is easier, therefore the dekes are harder & the game is much faster- making them equally difficult. TY.
Ringette is awesome! Our family has been involved for 7 years and we really enjoy cheering on our daughter and her team, the Burlington Blast. Hooray!
i have been playing ringette for almost 6 years and yes it is harder than hockey!!!!!!!!! ringette is my life i don't know what i would do with out it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i definatly don't find this video at all insulting i think it funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't play Ringette or Hockey and I'm a guy so I have a way bigger chance of going into Hockey instead of Ringette because of embarrassment but Ringette looks really hard. I mean spearing looks really fucking hard.
How bout you leave all the bad comments to your self. Because ringette is a faster sport then hockey and a lot harder in more then one way! Cherry pick you know you in canda , SCREW OFF. CANADA IS THE PLACE TO BE.
im a 12 year old playing for jr b team and i playing liek a bella a player cuz i was player from AGE 3 SKATING FROM AGE 2 NOT LAIR I SWEAR IM 12 AND PLAYING LIKE A BELL A PLAYER
I play ringette, and our coach emailed this to us a while ago... I'm goalie tho, so I cant relate to how hard it is to play out, but I know it is difficult.
RINGETTE IS THE BEST SPORT IN THE UNIVERSE! (Except, maybe Quidditch.)
I play ringette in on the A team yeah I love it and becase it's harder then hockey anyone that plays it does like like ur brother or guy friend think hockeys harder email me or reply thanks
If what you said was funny they'd call it a joke,
Unfortunately it wasn't funny, nor is it true.
If hockey was easier, why wouldn't these players just play hockey and be stars and make an actual living, instead of playing this sport no one will ever give two shits about.
maybe we dont play hockey because ringette is more fun for us! And maybe we dont play to make a LIVING we play for FUN! So unless you played the game and didnt like it cuz its not for you...it doesnt mean that its also not for us! Yeah I luv ringette and im proud!
i loooooove ringette! this year our team came in second at the junior national level! it was an AMAzing week. the rick mercer report should follow that week to see some real intense ringette!
Its seems like all over canada people are making fun of ringette, and theres really no reason to make fun of it becuase its just a sport. i mean ugh i just get really defensive over it , becucase i love it. and the only thing that it has in common with hockey is the fact that its on ice. The rules are different., and ringette takes better technique, and its better and faster than hockey :D
I didn't know much about ringette before seeing this on tv, only heard the name before and that it is "sorta like hockey". Looks pretty fun! i'm gonna have to see if I can find if it's played where I live for sure!
im 12 playing jr b yeah i moved up and i am like a 16 year player and im 12 and im fast and got cool good moves watching hockey like the deks and i hate that to
Ringette is so fucking lame!
