CRC Day 3 – April 2, 2025

Ottawa, Ontario – Apr 2, 2025 – The third day of the 2025 Canadian Ringette Championships brought the final day of round-robin play, and some of the best ringette we’ve seen thus far. Every team battled hard through each minute, free pass, and play.

In the National Ringette League (NRL) division, the day was capped by a thrilling 4-3 2OT win by the Saskatchewan Heat over the Manitoba Herd, which moved the Heat up into the Championship Pool. But the day started with a dominant Saskatchewan Heat 13-3 victory over the Nepean Ravens, and a 7-4 Montreal Mission win against the Calgary RATH. The Cambridge Turbos beat the Manitoba Herd 7-2, and the Waterloo Wildfire defeated the BC Thunder 7-3. Local Gatineau Fusion won 8-2 over the Black Gold Rush, the Edmonton WAM! beat the Atlantic Attack 9-8 in overtime, and the Rive-Sud Revolution ended round one with a 4-3 win over the Montreal Mission.

Thursday’s games commence with the Black Gold Rush and BC Thunder in a consolation play-in game at 8:00 a.m. at Ray Friel Arena.

In the U19 division, the three pool leaders are Zone 2 Blaze, Équipe Quebec, and Calgary Bold.  Team Ontario’s Jenna Martin leads all skaters in scoring with 10 goals and 10 assists. For the goaltenders, Piper Sooknanan has stopped 144 shots of 164.

The first U19 play-in game of the day is Team Ontario vs Team Saskatchewan at 9:15 a.m. at Richcraft SensPlex.

After the final day of play in the U16 division, Laurentides, Calgary Riot, and Richmond Hill Lightning sit atop the leaderboards in their respective pools. Team Alberta’s Jordan Niro leads skaters with six goals and ten assists. Brooke Bell of the Regina Stingers leads goaltenders with 160 saves.
