The 2000 Esso Golden Ring:

  • The tournament was sponsored for the 14th year by Imperial Oil Limited.
  • Teams from Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Quebec took part in the three-day competition. In addition to the 71 Calgary teams there were 75 teams from other parts of Alberta, and 16 out of province teams - 10 from British Columbia, 2 from Saskatchewan, 3 from Ontario, and 1 from Quebec.
  • A total of 167 applications were received from teams with hopes of securing a spot in the tournament. Regretfully, we were unable to accommodate 5 of those teams.
  • For the first time Esso Golden Ring custom game sheets were used in the tournament.
  • Competition was exceptional, with overtime in 11 of 36 quarter-finals, 8 of 26 semi-finals and 5 of 15 finals.
  • 2000 saw a continuation of the Bunnie division in the tournament. Fourteen teams of excited Bunnies each played three exhibition games. All Bunnies are considered winners, and each receive a participation medallion following their final game in the tournament.
  • Play took place at 17 arenas, a total of 22 ice surfaces with the first game commencing at 7:00 am on Friday, January 28, and the last game ending at 7:00 pm on Sunday, January 30.
  • The "take home" souvenirs which the 2000 Esso Golden Ring committee provided to all players were "tag-its" ID tags, and a sheet of temporary tattoos, imprinted with the Esso Golden Ring logo. In addition, all players were provided with a full color 2000 souvenir poster.
  • Bob Campbell, assisted by Erik Laerz was responsible for the task of scheduling officials for the 332 tournament games. Robyn Schweitzer, president of the CRRA, was also heavily involved in organizing and inviting officials to the tournament.
  • Once again a referee social and information session was held.
  • The hospitality night was held Friday, January 28th at Marlborough Community Hall, and for the first time it was "carnival style". Activities included kareoke, mini-golf, carnival games, cotton candy, popcorn and lots of fun. The City of Calgary Parks and Recreation supplied and ran the games, and each team was given a complimentary recording of their karaoke performances.
  • The Ringette Calgary Home Page provided an application form, hospitality night information, a list of successful applicants, and the schedules. This greatly reduced the number of inquiries to the Ringette Calgary office, and expeeded the process of providing information to teams.
  • In the Deb/Intermediate AA division shot clocks were used for all games
