Are you ready to TAKE THIS ON?
Nova Scotia’s Canada Winter Games ringette program isn’t just about talent—it’s about heart, work ethic, and growth over time.
Before you self-identify for the 2027 CWG cycle, take a moment to ask yourself:
🔹 Am I committed to a two-year journey of growth, hard work, and learning—regardless of where I start?
🔹 Am I ready to train like a high-performance athlete, not just show up as one?
🔹 Do I embrace feedback and coaching, even when it challenges me?
🔹 Can I balance school, sport, and life, knowing this program will push me to grow in all three?
🔹 Am I prepared to be evaluated consistently—on and off the ice, through games, testing, and how I carry myself?
🔹 Am I excited to be part of a culture built on respect, honesty, competition, and connection?
🔹 Do I want to represent Nova Scotia, not just for what I can do—but for who I am becoming?
If you’re answering yes—then we’re ready to walk this path with you.
STEP UP.
BREAK LIMITS.
CHASE GREATNESS!
Phase 1 is your first opportunity to experience the Canada Games Ringette Program environment. We are not just looking at what you can do on the ice, we are looking at how you train, compete, learn, and connect.
This stage is about readiness, not perfection. Every athlete will have strengths and areas to improve. We want to see how you work in both.
Our Objectives in Phase 1:
Compete hard and consistently.
Learn quickly and apply feedback.
Contribute positively to team culture.
Show physical readiness for high-performance training.
Communicate and work for their teammates.
Represent themselves and the program with respect and professionalism.
