Canada national ringette team#1990 Team Alberta

Canada was initially represented by six different amateur ringette teams at the inaugural World Ringette Championships in 1990 which took place in Gloucester, Ontario, Canada. In 1996, Canada's national ringette team became the first single representative Canadian team for ringette internationally, forming roughly 15 years after the death of Sam Jacks in 1975, the Canadian identified as the sport's inventor.{{cite news|url=https://ringettemanitoba.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/2020-08-22-16.45.20.png|title=Obituaries, AGNES JACKS, RINGETTE PROMOTER 1923-2005|last=Lawlor|first=Allison|newspaper=The Globe and Mail|date=19 April 2005|access-date=27 December 2021|archive-date=26 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211026194749/https://ringettemanitoba.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/2020-08-22-16.45.20.png|url-status=dead}}

Until 2009, Canada only had world representation in ringette at the senior level due to the fact that it was the only level available for elite international ringette competition. Canada created two teams which formed in 2009 for the inaugural World Junior Ringette Championships in the Czech Republic, but Canada wouldn't form its first, single representative all-junior national team until 2013.

The 1998 World Ringette Championships were replaced by a Summit Series between Team Canada and Team Finland, both of which were senior teams. Team Canada finished in second place while Team Finland finished in first.

Canada's first appearance in international ringette took place at the first World Ringette Championships in 1990 with six different Canadian senior amateur ringette teams representing the country: Team Alberta (Calgary Debs), Team Ontario, Team Quebec, Team Manitoba, Team Saskatchewan, and Team Gloucester (host). The winners of the 1989 Western Canadian Ringette Championships, the Calgary Debs advanced to the first World Ringette Championships in 1990 as Team Alberta.{{cite web |url=https://history.ringettecalgary.ca/1989-1990/ |title=1989–1990 – Ringette Calgary History |website=ringettecalgary.ca |author= |date= |access-date=15 May 2022 |publisher=Ringette Calgary|language=en}}{{cite web |url=https://www.ringette.ca/event_results/1990-world-ringette-championship-gloucester-ontario-canada/ |title=1990 World Ringette Championship (Gloucester, Ontario, Canada) |website=ringette.ca |author= |date= |access-date=14 May 2022|publisher=Ringette Canada |language=en}} The team went on to become the first to win the World Ringette Championship and the Sam Jacks Trophy.{{cite web |url=http://www.ringette.ca/Content/Team%20Canada/Roster/Past%20Rosters/1990Roster.asp?langid=1 |title=Player Roster - Team Canada 1990, World Ringette Championships, Gloucester Ontario Canada |website=web.archive.com |author= |date= |access-date=16 May 2022 |publisher=Ringette Canada |language=en |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090608004100/http://www.ringette.ca/Content/Team%20Canada/Roster/Past%20Rosters/1990Roster.asp?langid=1 |archive-date=8 June 2009 |url-status=dead}}{{cite web |url=https://www.ringette.ca/inductees/the-1990-world-ringette-championship-team/ |title=The 1990 world ringette championship team |website=ringette.ca|author= |date= 28 April 2015|access-date=19 May 2022|publisher=Ringette Canada|language=en}} Clémence Duchesneau was named the tournament's top goalie, an award she also claimed at the next tournament.{{cite web |url=https://www.ringette.ca/inductees/clemence-duchesneau/ |title=Clémence Duchesneau - Ringette Canada Hall of Fame |website=ringette.ca |author= |date= 28 April 2015|access-date=23 May 2022 |publisher=Ringette Canada|language=en}}

Canada was represented by two separate teams, Team Canada East and Team Canada West, during the 1992 World Ringette Championships and the 1994 World Ringette Championships. Since the 1996 World Ringette Championships only one national Canadian team has served as the Canadian senior representative; it has won the competition twice, in 1996 and in 2002.{{cite web |url=https://www.ringette.ca/inductees/1996-world-ringette-championship-team/|title=1996 World Ringette Championship Team |website=ringette.ca |author= |date= 28 April 2015|access-date=18 May 2022|publisher=Ringette Canada |language=en}}{{cite web |url=https://www.ringette.ca/inductees/2002-world-ringette-championship-team/ |title=2002 World Ringette Championship Team |website=ringette.ca |author= |date= 28 April 2015|access-date=17 May 2022 |publisher=Ringette Canada |language=en}}

Team Canada Junior first competed in the World Junior Ringette Championships. The 2009 World Junior Ringette Championships marked the first time an international competition took place specifically for junior players between ringette playing nations. The tournament was created separately from the major competition between senior national teams (the World Ringette Championships) and was established by the International Ringette Federation.

In 2009, Canada was represented by two different Canadian junior amateur ringette teams, Team Canada East and Team Canada West. At the 2012 World Junior Ringette Championships, Canada was represented by two separate teams: Team Canada East Under-19, and Team Canada West Under-19.

The first single representative national junior ringette team in Canada was formed in 2013 after the World Junior Ringette Championships tournament merged with the larger World Ringette Championships and a Junior division was created.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 World Ringette Championships were cancelled and therefore there was no Team Canada Junior for that year.

In conjunction with a gold medal, the winning senior national ringette team is awarded the Sam Jacks Trophy which was first introduced at the world inaugural World Ringette Championships (WRC) in 1990 in Gloucester, Ontario, Canada. A new redesign of the Sam Jacks Trophy was introduced during the 1996 World Ringette Championships in Stockholm, Sweden. 1996 was the year Canada sent the first all–Canadian national ringette team to the WRC whereas before Canada had sent regional teams.

In conjunction with a gold medal, the winning junior national ringette team is awarded the Juuso Wahlsten Trophy which was first introduced during the 2019 World Ringette Championships (WRC) in Burnaby, Canada. 2013 was the year Canada sent the first all–Canadian junior national ringette team to the WRC whereas before Canada had sent regional teams to the World Junior Ringette Championships (WJRC) in 2009 and 2012, after which the tournament merged with the WRC.
