A ringer
Kimberley Stephenson, a Memorial engineering student, is the representative for Newfoundland on Team Canada in the world championships for ringette this November in Finland. Although Canada is home to over 9,000 ringette coaches, the sport is perhaps best known in Ontario, where it began in 1963 and quickly spread to Quebec and the prairies. Akin to hockey in appearance and basketball in rules of play, ringette is a team sport on ice in which players use a straight stick to pass, carry, and shoot a rubber ring in order to score goals.
