I got the chance to go to the 2016 Canadian Ringette Championships (CRCs) in London, Ont. I haven’t been to CRCs since 20014 when they were in Calgary.
It was a really amazing experience watching the best of the best ringette. I also got to photograph a lot of great games.
There were 15 Alberta teams participating in games- six U16AA, six U19AA, and three NRL teams.
U19AA Team Alberta made it to the bronze medal game, and was the last Alberta team playing. Team Alberta played Ontario’s Nepean Ravens in a very close game that I thought was going to go into overtime for a bit when it was tied until 14 minutes and 27 seconds into the second period.
