2026 Esso Golden Ring Committee is looking for volunteers to fill the following committee positions:

Co-chair – steward a well organized committee.  We have a great team and defined roles, so while it does take organization and a bit of time, the chair position is not as hard as it sounds!

Secretary – record and disseminate the committee meeting notes.  One committee meeting per month from Sept – Jan.

Medal Presentation – assist in organizing and presenting medals to the Gold and Silver winning teams.  Must be present at the arena for the finals (Sunday afternoon)

Publicity co-ordinator – reach out to Calgary media and manage our social media presence 

Vendor co-ordinator – organize the photographer and apparel vendors for the tournament

Schedule assistant – work with our existing master scheduler to learn his process, with the intent to take over within the next year or so.   This role requires very high level excel skills.

South Calgary Volunteer Representative– organize the South Calgary volunteers

Arena operations – work with a team to ensure our arenas are ready for the tournament (shot clocks, small nets etc).  Volunteers with a truck and able to move a small net or two(if necessary) would be greatly appreciated 

Please direct interest to Holly Bradley at chair@essogoldenring.ca

The “2015 Western Canadian Ringette Championships Legacy Scholarships” winners have been determined. Applicants were scored based on their commitment to the sport of Ringette through playing, coaching, officiating and other volunteer activities as well as school and community participation and service.

Congratulations to Kali Olsen and Marissa Dyck who each received $1000.

We are thrilled to be offering a Ringette for All (RFA) program for children with cognitive and/or physical disabilities.

Through an inclusive, safe, and fun environment, RFA players will learn the fundamentals of the sport as well as develop life skills that will benefit them in and out of the rink.

We are thrilled to congratulate Sophia Smith as the 2024/25 recipient of our Don Henderson Memorial Ringette Scholarship at the UofC! Congratulations Sophia and all the best for a successful season and school year ahead!

In 1989 Ringette Calgary set up a Ringette Scholarship at the University of Calgary. The Scholarship was renamed the “Don Henderson Memorial Scholarship” in 1993 after the passing of Don Henderson who was one of the individuals who started Ringette in Calgary.
