U19AA are Provincial Champions!

On Sunday March 8th U19AA Burlington Blast Ringette Team won the Provincial Gold Medal at the Ringette Ontario Provincial Championships in Kingston. The team won six round robin games, prior to winning the semi-finals and final championship game.

This is the first time Burlington has won a AA Gold Medal at any level. The team has been awarded the title of Team Ontario. They will represent Ontario at the Canadian Ringette Championships at the end of March. This year the Canadian tournament will be held in Ottawa and takes place over 6 days of competition starting Monday March 30th, finishing with medal games on Saturday April 4th. There will be opening ceremonies on Sunday March 29th and all the attending teams will, as per tradition, share pins from their city and province.

The team is all female and has 15 skaters, 2 of whom are goalies, and their ages range from 16 to 19. Some of the team have played in the Canadian Ringette Championships before, but none have attended as the reigning Ontario Provincial Champions.

The team also has a banner they will be signing, which will be hung at Mainway arena once we coordinate with City staff. This will be at a date TBD.

We are also actively seeking sponsorships and other fundraising opportunities to help cover the costs of attending. Anyone interested in supporting the team can reach out by email to u19aa@burlingtonringette.com
