Get a chance to try ringette, for free

Times Reporter

 

Often times children can watch a sport and love it, but once they sign up to become a part of a team, it maybe a different story.  The Strathmore Minor Ringette Association, SMRA, is hosting their annual ‘Come Try Ringette’, which will be taking place on Feb. 18 at the Family Centre. It’s a free event that will run from 4:30 p.m. until 5:30 p.m., allowing kids a chance to play. 

“It’s just to promote the sport in kind of a fun way,” said Kris Hinz, a member of the SMRA board. She said if anyone is interested in attending, they can preregister with her or they can show up at the rink on the 18th and register. There is no limit to how many kids can come out and participate. All they need would be a helmet, skates and mitts. The SMRA are going to try to have enough sticks there, but if a child already has their own they are welcome to bring it with them. Hinz said the hope is that if kids come out and enjoy the game, they may register for next year. To preregister call Kris Hinz at 403-934-2709.
