For my learning project, I would like to explore the sport of Ringette. This includes learning about the rules, how the sport differs from hockey, and the skills required to play the game, particularly those I will need to develop. Another aspect I want to focus on is finding a place to play and practice, which could include setting up a backyard ice surface.

While I wouldn’t say that Ringette is a sport that greatly interests me personally, it is very important to my partner and her family. In life, sometimes it’s necessary to take an interest in things that may not be appealing at first, not as a chore, but as a way of supporting and connecting with others. I also have a 4 year old who may get into the sport, but wants to learn to skate and what better way then to have your own backyard ice rink.
