Letters to the editor (SAULT
STAR)Sault
athletes naturally gifted I am
compelled to write to express my feelings of envy. I was in Sault Ste. Marie this past fall to attend the first ever World Club Ringette Championships hosted in your fine
city, and this is when I first came to know of your tourism tag line -- Naturally Gifted. I have recently had occasion to
learn more about its true meaning. A week ago,
the Sault Ste. Marie Ice Hawks Belle A ringette team travelled to eastern Ontario,
where my community hosted the provincial championships. After spending a week with the athletes and coaches from the Sault, I have now come to know that, while your city
may be blessed with natural splendor, its people are its greatest assets. Two of the Sault players -- Jessica D'Angelo and Riley Jo Linklater -- registered in the top 15
scorers for the entire provincial tournament. The Ice Hawks Belle A team completed the preliminary round locked in a five-way
tie for first place. Our community adopted
the team as its own because the stands were packed when the team lost a heart-breaking game to determine who would advance
to the semifinals. Not surprising to everyone gathered, the team was crowned the provincial sportsmanship award winner. This
team was not only an exemplar for the city of Sault Ste. Marie but
an exemplar for all involved in ringette. Sault
Ste. Marie, you should be proud of this ringette team of fine young ambassadors for the city. It is clear that their participation has been rewarded with a program that has
reinforced excellence, commitment, and a strong dedication to important values and a focused commitment to ethical sport.
From the opening game to their final tie-breaker, both on and off the ice, your community was well represented by this crew
of ringette athletes, coaches and supportive parents and volunteers. Naturally gifted? Sault Ste. Marie and its Ringette Ice Hawks. I'm envious. Doug MacQuarrie, Director,
Ethics and Anti-Doping Services, Canadian
Centre for Ethics in Sport, Ottawa, Ont.

Welcome Athletes
and Parents. Under a staggered start, junior and
senior leagues, as well as the bunnies, are up and running. This approach works well and allows organizers to breathe a
bit. It seems to reduce initial confusion as we all get back into the fall schedule of school, sports
and other events. Learn to Skate and Play starts today, Saturday,
October 5th. Volunteers are always needed to help this program run smoothly. High school students - this is a great opportunity
to get your community hours in. Full schedules will be posted soon. Any
questions, feel free to forward them to saultringette@shaw.ca or find
one of the league directors at the rinks. It's
ringette time - live it, love it, play it! (Oct 16 08)
