60th anniversary of ringette (est. 1963) | |

The 2023 World Ringette Championships (2023 WRC) was an international ringette tournament, the 15th (XV) World Ringette Championships, and was contested in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, from October 29 to November 4, 2023.[2] The host venue for the event was the Canada Olympic Park (COP), WinSport Event Centre.[1] It marked the 60th anniversary of the sport of ringette which was invented in 1963. The tournament was organized by the International Ringette Federation (IRF).
The 2023 World Ringette Championships featured teams from Team Canada and Team Finland who will compete in the national Junior U-21 Pool and the new U-18 Development tournament. As part of the competition, the President's Pool will include Team Sweden Senior, Team Czechia Senior, and the Team USA Senior which are considered developing ringette nations.
The IRF postponed the Senior Pool a.k.a. The Sam Jacks Series, until the 2025 World Ringette Championships. Therefore the general format for the world competition was changed: The U18 International Development Festival (Under-18), the U21 Junior Pool (Under-21), and a separate President's Pool for developing ringette nations.[2]
Overview
[edit | edit source]To preserve the existing competition cycle, the International Ringette Federation (IRF) committed to staging an international tournament in 2023. The tournament returns to Canada in 2023 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of ringette. The IRF has decided not to include the Sam Jacks pool (Senior Pool) in the 2023 tournament. It will return for the 2025 World Ringette Championships.[3][4]
The IRF will include the following at the 2023 tournament:
- U21 World Junior Championship (existing)
- President’s Pool World Championship (existing)
- U18 International Development Event (new)
Junior U21 Pool
[edit | edit source]A Junior U-21 (Under 21) World Championship was a pool featuring Team Canada U21 and Team Finland U21.
The Juuso Wahlsten Trophy was awarded to the winner in the tournament and is named after Finland's, Juhani "Juuso" Wahlsten, who introduced ringette to Finland in 1979, the first European country to develop the sport.
U18 International Development Festival
[edit | edit source]Canada hosted its first-ever U-18 International Development Festival, featuring athletes from multiple countries. The event concluded with an international intersquad game, as well as Canada Red and Canada White games against Finland Blue and Finland White.[2]
President's Pool
[edit | edit source]The President's Pool included the national ringette teams of Czechia, Sweden, and the USA.
The President's Pool competition is designed to help develop emerging ringette nations. The President's Trophy is the award presented to the best team in this tournament.
Senior Program

Teams
[edit | edit source](*) = The Senior Pool is postponed for this tournament but returns for the 2025 World Ringette Championships. It is replaced for the 2023 WRC with two scrimmages between two Canadian teams, Team Canada Senior Red and Team Canada Senior White.
