Aspengrove revives ringette

NANAIMO – School holds jamboree for Grades 3-5 at Cliff McNabb Arena.

Aspengrove School hosted a ringette revival.

Claude Therrien, athletic director at the private school in Lantzville, has been teaching P.E. students ringette rules recently and last Tuesday morning, pupils in Grade 3-5 were divided into six teams for a jamboree at Cliff McNabb Arena.

The rules were tweaked so that students of varying skating abilities were able to participate – skaters had to pass to stationary non-skating teammates as they made their way up and down the rink, and those non-skaters were given extra time and space to make passes.
