Ringette Canada – Charlottetown/Summerside, PEI – April 13, 2019 – All-stars were named tonight at the closing ceremony of the 2019 Credit Union Canadian Ringette Championships in Charlottetown/Summerside, PEI.

The Canadian ringette championships are designed to crown champions in the U16, U19 and National Ringette League (19+) divisions; to provide fun, friendship and fitness to participating players; and to encourage ringette across Canada. The performance awards recognize excellence in the sport of ringette.
