1. I think that the Edmonton WAM! are going to have to win no less than ten of their remaining 16 games if they are going to avoid missing the NRL Championship for the first time in team history. With a record of 5-8-0-1 through 14 games, the WAM will have dug a hole they have never had to deal with before.…
Earlier this season, our poll question asked people to vote on who they would like to see a guest post from on the National Ringette League website.

1. I think that Richmond Hill and Cambridge are in for a very exciting Christmas break. Over the break, the Lightning and Turbos will be travelling to Finland to play in the second World Club Championship. Cambridge won the first version back in 2008 in Sault Ste Marie and will be looking to defend that title. For both teams, they may want to keep an eye on a couple of key Finns. Anne Pohjola of Lapinlahden Luistin-89 has 177 points through 16 games in the Finnish elite league. (I’ll give you a second to re-read that last sentence - it’s not a typo, check the scoring stats here). The other player will be much more familiar to the Canadian teams as Jennifer Hartley has taken a year away from the WAM! to play for Luki-82 and will be competing at the World Clubs as well. Good luck to both the Turbos and the Lightning and we are all hoping for an all-Canadian final!…

Moustache Season is upon us, so we’ve registered a National Ringette League team for Movember. We’re called the MoRingers and the idea is to get all the male coaches, fans, dads, partners, and friends to join our team and raise awareness and funds for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer. …
The days are getting shorter, the rinks are getting cooler and the conditioning camps have started. It must be time to start up the Ten Things machine once again. The summer has been chilly in the west and the east, and really hot in the middle, which has nothing at all to do with the NRL.…

Edmonton WAM! goalies Keely Brown and Heather Konkin put together a weekend goalie camp for 30 goalies age 8 to 70 (way to go Phyllis Sadoway!) in Beaumont on August 20-21.

This was a good year on the ice in the National Ringette League. There were 245 games played. Most of them very good. Some of them incredible. These are the Ten Things I Thought about the NRL’s 2010-2011 season.…
1. I think that the playoff situation in the Eastern Conference is muddled. This is the format to arrive at the six teams that will be attending the NRL Championship tournament from the Eastern Conference: - Cambridge will attend as the Host team or based on their standing, whichever is higher; - The top two teams in the conference advance directly to the NRL Championship; - The next eight teams are involved in best of three series to determine the other four spots. …
