The ringette glossary for tracking statistics

Ringette has its own vocabulary, and so do its statistics. Here are the essential terms for tracking a game properly, from the best known to the most specific.

These rules explain why a generic hockey tool tracks ringette poorly: no faceoffs to count, no hits, and THE stat that matters (the blue-line pass) exists nowhere else. RinkLog integrates this whole vocabulary natively in Ringette mode.

  • Ring (anneau): the blue rubber ring replacing the puck, played with a straight stick
  • Blue-line pass (passe de ligne bleue): the mandatory pass to cross the blue line; the ring cannot be carried across
  • Free pass (passe libre): the restart from a circle that replaces hockey’s faceoffs
  • Restricted zone (zone restreinte): only three skaters per team may play deep in the zone, which structures attacks
  • Crease (cercle de gardienne): goalie territory; no skater may touch the ring inside it
  • Minor penalty: 2 minutes; major penalty: 4 minutes (ringette’s own scale)
  • Shot on net (tir cadré): same definition as hockey, only the goalie’s intervention stops it

RinkLog measures and computes this statistic automatically during your hockey, ball hockey and ringette games.
