Ringette is a Canadian sport game which was first introduced in 1963 in North Bay, Ontario by Sam Jacks, who worked at the Department of Parks and Recreation. The first-ever ringette game was played in Espanola, Ontario in the winter of 1963-1964. Developed originally for girls, ringette is a fast-paced team sport played on an ice rink in which players use a straight stick to pass, carry, and shoot a rubber ring to score goals. Sam Jacks also invented floor hockey.

For ten years, play centered in Ontario and Quebec; however, the sport quickly spread across Canada and is now played in all ten provinces and the Northwest Territories.

Unlike ice hockey the game does not begin with a faceoff. Rather one of the teams starts with the ring in their end of the central face off circle.
