Ringette formations and positions.

Ringette is played six a side, five skaters and a goaltender, on an ice rink of 60.96 by 25.91 metres using straight sticks and a rubber ring. A match is four periods of 10 minutes with a 30 second shot clock. A goal is scored when the ring fully crosses the goal line, and the ring must be passed across each blue line rather than carried. Ringette Canada Official Rules apply.
