GENERAL INFORMATION

The 11th annual Ringette Scores on Cancer tournament will be happening January 10 - 12, 2020 at West Edmonton Mall.  Teams at the A, B and C levels of U10 (step 2 and 3 only), U12, U14 and U16 that are registered and approved by Ringette Alberta, or their provincial governing ringette body for non-Alberta teams, for the 2019/2020 season are eligible to participate.

The intent of Ringette Scores on Cancer is twofold. First, to raise money for cancer research at the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton. Second, to provide a very unique event designed to allow young ringette players the opportunity to have a great deal of fun participating in a very special event.

Ringette Scores on Cancer runs from 2:00 - 11:00 pm on Friday January 10, 6:00 am - 10:00 pm on Saturday January 11 and 7:00 am - 9:00 pm on Sunday January 12. Teams participating in Ringette Scores on Cancer must be prepared to play during any of these dates/times. All games will be played at the Ice Palace in West Edmonton Mall.

The team with the best round robin record (2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, no points for a loss) will play a fourth game against the team which has raised the greatest amount of pledges in their pool. In the event this is the same team then the team raising the second greatest amount of pledges will play a fourth game.
