Tough. Tenacious. Together.

The CUCRA
Overseen by the Canadian University and College Ringette Association (CUCRA), the UCC provides many university ringette teams and clubs with the chance to compete against each other in a tournament specifically designed for university-level players. As stated on the CUCRA website,
University Ringette provides a wonderful option...[and]... keeps many players involved in the sport who would otherwise likely hang up the skates during their years of post secondary study.
For those post-secondary students who choose to play while studying, university-level ringette often provides an immediate social network and ongoing supportive community that can help, not only with the transition to college or university, but throughout their post-secondary career as well.
