During their Summerfest 2009 tournament, Owen Sound Ringette presented a special “Volunteer Appreciation Award” to both Fred and Wendy Cathrae.

          Fred and Wendy are admired and respected for the energy and commitment that they have devoted locally to the sport of Ringette, to the players, the parents and the executive members. They have been there watching the practices and games, attending all the Owen Sound events, coaching, serving on the local executive and supporting the other executive members as they performed their duties for almost 30 years. Their love of the sport, understanding, knowledge and participation at the Western Region Ringette Association and Ontario Ringette Association has provided leadership and earned them respect as “Builders” in the community.  In recent years, both Wendy and Fred have been inducted into the Ontario Ringette Association’s Hall of Fame. 

          Wendy and Fred have been a very positive force in the promotion of Ringette in our area. Thanks to their hard work and leadership, Owen Sound has a strong and active Ringette program with many enthusiastic participants.

We hope you had a great weekend! 

Scores and photos have been posted on the Summerfest 2009 and album pages.

          The executive, parents and players are excited about the new twin pads ice rink announcement. We are very thankful to the City of Owen Sound Council, staff and special committees for their energy and determination to make the new ice facility a reality.  For the last five years, Owen Sound Ringette has anticipated the need for a new arena to replace the Coliseum.  As regular uses of this facility, Owen Sound Ringette has been setting aside some funds from their association fundraisers and announce that they will donate a total of $20,000 towards the construction of the new twin pads.

Volunteers will be needed for next season to take on the job of webmaster.  Also help is needed with the job of uploading the new schedules, inputing scores, and adding game scorers' names from The Sun Times articles.  We can assign assistant webmasters so you can take on the job for just your team if you wish.  This would actually work best as you receive the most up to date information for your child's team.  You do not need any special computer skills beyond word processing.  Please contact the current webmasters, Donna and Rick Brown for more information.  Training and technical support are a local phone call away.
