This is exactly the same game as puck tag but it is geared towards the Mites & Novice age level because it allows the players to use ringettes instead of pucks. The game of puck tag goes like this:
- Every player has a ringette and is skating around the playing area.
- Designate 2 players or coaches to be "IT".
- If a player is tagged they must stand still with one arm holding their stick and one arm up in the air.
- In order to return to the game another player must stickhandle a ringette through their legs.
- Once all of the players are tagged at one time then the round is over.
Why this is a great small area game
The game forces players to control the ringette with their head up and taking inventory of their surroundings. They have to look for opportunities to free their teammates by being aware of where the "IT" are located.
