North/West Ringette





"IF it were easy, they'd call it hockey . . ." That's the catch phrase that prevailed Sunday night at the 31st annual North / West Vancuover Ringette Association's awards banquet. Kids from 5 to 19 years old were honoured at Hollyburn Country Club for their teamwork and dedication to the sport. Awards were handed out for participation, coach's choice and more. Before dinner, there was a chance to get your face painted in your team colours and show your team spirit. Friends and families joined the players for the evening making it a true family affair. Congratulation to everyone involved.
