Westerns were so much more than I thought they would be.  I wasn't too sure what to expect with it being my first time experiencing it.  I want to thank U14AA Calgary 212, Open A Calgary Blitz, and Open A Winnipeg Goons for letting me join you on your bench during your games to take pictures.  Being on the bench with you made taking pictures 10 times better because I got to combine two things I love. I think that the tournament went really well for its size and the type of tournament that the Read more [...]

What an amazing tournament! It was such an amazing experience for myself.  I never got to participate in any tournaments like WCRC when I played so getting to experience the tournament with helping with the media was just amazing. Congratulations to teams that participated! All the games I got to watch part of were amazing to see.  The games played were truly the best of the West and I hope to get to watch more amazing games like the ones I saw again. Here's the video that was played at Closing Read more [...]

Another busy day! Although I didn’t get to watch as much ringette as I would’ve liked to there were some amazing games played.

I’m back at the rink bright and early tomorrow morning to watch some more amazing games. I can’t wait to see the games played tomorrow. Also I Read more [...]

A quick history of the Western Canadian Ringette Championship Not a lot of people know how or why WCRC was started or when it even started. I knew very little about this tournament when I first started looking for information, so I thought I would share what I have found with anyone who is wanting to know more about this tournament or just about this amazing sport in general. Westerns were started in 1997 and hosted only 4 Tween AA (U14AA) teams with the teams being from Alberta and Saskatchewan Read more [...]
