The athletes on this world ringette championship team were pioneers in establishing dominance on the international ringette scene,” said Jim Dawson, VP of promotions for Ringette Canada. “It is through their commitment, hard work and dedication that ringette has been able to build on the momentum of these early international competitions and establish its presence worldwide. It is only fitting to honor and commend these athletes by inducting them into our Hall of Fame.”
