Although ice hockey is usually considered as a men sport, there are many women players. besides ice hockey, there is another sport, called ringette. which is very similar but different at the same time. For instance, in my country is very common for girls and women to play ringette. In this essay I will explain the differences between both sportsand state why, in my opinion, this is the best choice as a female player.
In both sports, players have to use the appropriate gear so that they can keep up their safety. Not only the gear is the same but also the playing court, including the number of players on the field.
Rules are important when playing so players should not forget to follow them. In ringette, there are several rules which are suitable for girls, but in ice hockey players are able to play more freedly. In contrast to ice hockey, in ringette games there is not much fighting. In fact, ice hockey is a more common phenomenon as a sport and as a hobby than ringette.
As a conclusion, ringette is becoming ,ore famous and the number of players is growing fast. The courts will be busy soon with young and middle-age players. Not only in ringette but also in ice hockey the number of players is increasing. Both, women and men can fit in the same playing court. I have played ringette 9 years so I would recommend to try it and have a nice time
on ice !
