2025 World Ringette Championships – Day 3

Helsinki, Finland – November 6th, 2025 – Team Canada travelled to Finland’s capital, Helsinki, for their final exhibition game ahead of Championship Weekend at the 2025 World Ringette Championships.

The U21 Junior National Team was on the ice first, facing off against Finland in a full arena, where it was local school day, and dozens of local schoolchildren were cheering on the fast-paced game. 

Finland struck first, but Canada answered when Lauren Schoenhofen (Regina, SK) scored to tie it in the first. Finland would score twice more, ending the first quarter at 3-1 Finland. The Finns scored two more unanswered goals, before Schoenhofen scored again 12 and a half minutes into the second quarter. Charlotte Anderson (Ajax, ON) would also add one, and the score at half was 5-2 Finland. Morgan Forrest (Ottawa, ON) was Canada’s lone scorer in the third to bring the score to 7-4 Finland. Despite some great saves from goaltender Aeva Lott (Red Deer, AB), Finland would score twice more and the final score was 9-4 Finland. Lott played all four quarters, and had a strong game. The MVP of the game for Canada was Tessa Galandy (Strathmore, AB).

The Senior National Team played a fast, gritty game against Finland Senior. Sarah MacDonald (Aldergrove, BC) played all four quarters in net, and played an exceptional game. Yet, Finland struck first, sneaking one past MacDonald. Gillian Dreger (Edmonton, AB) tied the game up at 1 all, and Finland scored another to end the quarter 2-1 Finland. Canada played together well, drawing on their chemistry forged this week to fight to the end of the game. After the half, Britney Snowdon (Dieppe, NB) scored eight seconds in to tie the game at 2, Finland scored, and then Torrie Shennan (Edmonton, AB) brought the score back to 3-3. In the fourth, Finland brought it to 5-3 Finland, but Canada wasn’t finished yet. Torrie Shennan scored a second goal to bring Canada within one at 5-4 Finland final score. The MVP of the game for Canada was Gillian Dreger.
