MEET TEAM ALBERTA: MADI RICE

From Zone 2 Ringette Association, Madi Rice has played ringette for 15 years and is heading into her ninth year of AA and high-performance competition.

Madi first stepped onto the ice when she was just three or four years old after her neighbours introduced her older sister, Kennedy, to the sport.

“Shoutout to Kennedy Rice for being my built-in competitor!”

For Madi, ringette is about much more than what happens on the ice. She loves being part of a strong community, creating lifelong friendships and giving back to women’s sport as she gets older.

Growing up as one of the youngest and smallest players among older teammates and siblings came with challenges. Instead of taking the easy route, Madi trained against strong competitors, worked hard and proved that she belonged.

Her teammates would describe her as hardworking, competitive and confident—qualities she hopes to pass along to younger athletes.

“Believe in your own skills. Train with purpose and step outside your comfort zone in practice and away from the rink. That is what will prepare you when tough situations arrive.”

Away from ringette, Madi enjoys hiking, going to the gym and line dancing with her friends. She also runs the account with her friend Dylan!

Her game-day essentials? A pink hair tie for every game and an Original Joe’s chicken wrap before gold-medal games.

At the Canada Winter Games, Madi is most excited to show everyone what TEAM AB is all about and take a photo with every mascot she sees! 🫡

Her favourite quote says it all:

“Success isn’t owned. It’s leased. And rent is due every day.” — J.J. Watt

Congratulations, Madi! We can’t wait to cheer you and Team Alberta on! 🧡💙

𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦, 𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗘 𝗥𝗨𝗦𝗛𝗙𝗘𝗟𝗗𝗧!

Two major injuries. Parts of two seasons missed. Months of rehabilitation.

But Halle Rushfeldt kept going and now she has been selected to represent Alberta at the Canada Winter Games!

Halle began playing ringette at four years old in Hinton, inspired by her older sisters, Makenna and Morgan, and her dad, who coached the family. There wasn’t much to do in her hometown, but when Halle found ringette, she found the sport she loved.

Over the next 14 years, the speed of the game kept her hooked.

Her journey hasn’t been easy. After tearing her ACL, Halle worked through rehabilitation and returned to the ice wearing a brace. A few months later, she tore her meniscus and needed surgery to repair both injuries.

She missed half of two different seasons.

But now she’s back.

Through it all, Halle learned that life isn’t always about winning. It is about showing up, working hard, staying dedicated and remembering to have fun.

Her teammates describe her as driven, positive and energetic and her message to younger athletes reflects that same determination:

“Push yourself every day. If you truly love the game, training shouldn’t feel like a chore.”

Halle credits her Mom and Dad for always encouraging her, supporting her and believing in her through every season. Her dad also gave her the motivational words she carries onto the ice:

“Your next shift is your best shift.”

Before a game, Halle eats peanut butter and banana and always puts on her right skate before her left. Away from the rink, she loves surfing, being outside and spending time with friends and family.

At the Canada Winter Games, Halle is most excited for the competition, the friendships and the unforgettable experience.

Congratulations, Halle! Your comeback has brought you all the way to Team Alberta

𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗘 𝗥𝗨𝗡𝗦 𝗜𝗡 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗔’𝗦 𝗙𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗬

Marea’s ringette story began long before she stepped onto the ice.

Her mom and auntie both grew up playing the sport, and when Marea was four, they inspired her and her sister to play too.

Fourteen years later, after progressing from U12B and U12A to U14AA, U16AA and U19AA, Marea has been selected to represent Alberta at the Canada Winter Games!

For Marea, the heart of ringette has always been the people. At every level, she has found the same support, friendship and sense of community. Some of her closest friendships began at the rink.

Her journey has also required resilience. Injuries forced Marea to spend time on the sidelines when all she wanted to do was play. Rebuilding wasn’t easy, but it taught her to appreciate every opportunity she gets to compete beside her teammates.

Positive. Consistent. Calm.

Those are the three words her teammates would use to describe her and the qualities that helped her keep moving forward through every setback.

Her advice to young athletes is simple:
“Fall seven times, get up eight. The athletes who stay motivated through challenges are the ones who achieve their goals. With hard work and grit, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.”

Marea’s biggest inspiration is her older sister. Her own ringette journey started in the stands, watching her sister play beside their mom. As Marea jokes, she wouldn’t be the player she is today without her sister making all the mistakes first!

Before games, Marea reaches for a small Tim Hortons iced coffee. Away from the rink, she enjoys pickleball, working out, bouldering and spending time with family and friends.

At the Canada Winter Games, Marea is excited to represent Alberta, experience the energy of a national competition and take in the entire multisport celebration.

Congratulations, Marea! Your family’s ringette story is entering an exciting new chapter!

𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦, 𝗝𝗘𝗡𝗡𝗔 𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗠𝗦!

After 12 years of hard work, growth and determination, Spruce Grove Ringette athlete Jenna Adams has been selected to represent Alberta at the Canada Winter Games!

Jenna’s journey began at five years old when her babysitter, Torrie Shennan, inspired her to try ringette. Since then, she has progressed through U10 Steps 1, 2 and 3, U12A, U14AA, U16AA and U19AA.

Ringette has taught Jenna that success is not about being perfect. It is about how you respond when things don’t go your way.

Mistakes don’t define an athlete. The choice to learn, grow and keep going does.

That lesson has helped Jenna become the supportive, passionate and hardworking teammate she is today. It has also helped her balance school, friends, ringette and softball while learning how to give her best to every part of her life.

Her message to younger athletes is one worth remembering:

“Don’t let your mistakes define you. Every athlete makes them, and they are an important part of improving. Learn from them and remember that growth comes from the challenges you overcome, not from being perfect.”

When Jenna isn’t playing ringette, she enjoys softball, hiking, snowboarding and spending time with friends at the lake. She also competed in softball at the 2023 Alberta Summer Games!

Her pre-game essentials? A braid in her hair and a GoGo squeeze before stepping onto the ice.

At the Canada Winter Games, Jenna is looking forward to representing Alberta, competing against the best and making new friendships and memories.

Congratulations, Jenna! We can’t wait to cheer you and Team Alberta on!
