All Women’s Sports Network (AWSN) to Broadcast National Ringette League Finals at 2026 Canadian Ringette Championships

Ottawa, ON — Ringette Canada is proud to announce that the All Women’s Sports Network (AWSN) will broadcast the National Ringette League (NRL) Gold and Bronze Medal Games live from the 2026 Canadian Ringette Championships (CRC) in Ottawa.

This marks the first time in championship history that the NRL finals will be carried by AWSN, representing a major milestone for ringette and women’s sport in Canada.

The AWSN broadcasts will complement national coverage from iSiLIVE webcasting that will be available on Ringette Canada’s YouTube Channel. This collaboration will deliver unprecedented exposure for the sport, its athletes, and its partners. Together, these platforms will provide coast-to-coast access to the championship’s premier events and significantly expand national reach.

“Having AWSN broadcast the National Ringette League finals live from our National Championship event is a game-changing moment for ringette,” said Jenni Lloyd, Ringette Canada’s Director of Communications and Marketing. “This partnership reflects the growing demand for elite women’s sport and reinforces ringette’s place on the national sport stage.”

The Canadian Ringette Championships are delivered through a collaborative partnership between Ringette Canada, City of Ottawa Tourism and the City of Ottawa Ringette Association (CORA), with strong support from municipal and national partners. The return of the CRC to Ottawa in 2026 is expected to further strengthen the city’s reputation as a premier host for national sport events.

With live national broadcasts and a highly engaged fan base, the 2026 CRC presents a compelling platform for sponsors seeking meaningful brand alignment and measurable return on investment within women’s sport.
