It's the biggest ringette tournament to hit Prince George since the 2015 Canada Winter Games.
Thirty-eight teams from three regions will square off on the ice at the Kin Centre and Elksentre for the three-day Ringette BC provincial A and B championships.
Prince George will be well-represented with three teams in the under-14 B tournament and one team in each of the 18-plus, under-19 B and under-16 B divisions. The under-16, under-19 and 18-plus teams all qualified for provincials as regional division champions. The under-14 teams (seven in A division, nine in B division) are competing in invitational tournaments. It all starts today with the first games at 7 a.m. at all four rinks.
Playoffs begin Saturday night with medal finals starting Sunday at 11 a.m.
The winning teams in the 18-plus, under-19 A and under-16 A divisions will advance to the Western Canadian championships in St. Albert, Alta., March 27-30.
