DOM Sports has been a proud ringette supporter since 1989 and an integral part of the innovation and development of the sport across Canada.
DOM Sports recognized the need for superior ringette sticks in Canada and partnered with Finland’s Ring-Jet to become the first and only Canadian Ring-Jet distributor. The first stick model released, the Ring-Jet 300, was an instant hit amongst Canadian players. Since then, DOM Sports and Ring-Jet have worked side-by-side to deliver the largest range of high-quality wood ringette sticks in Canada.
DOM Sports has also pioneered several other areas of ringette:
- In 1997 DOM Sports introduced Mini Turbo rings (link page) which standardized the “practice ring” in the ringette world. These rings are used by players in training to hone their passing and receiving skills .
- DOM Sports introduced Gym Ringette (link page) to schools across North America. DOM manufactures gym-specific sticks and high-optic indoor rings for physical education classes and programs in schools and communities. The DOM Gym Ringette product is now used in Canada, the USA and Europe.
