The Red River Rage U12 ringette team is made up of girls in Grades 5–6 (ages 10–11). The U12 team plays in both the Winnipeg Ringette League and the Eastman Ringette League. There are 14 players split between three towns: Niverville (12 players), Ste. Agathe (one player), and St. Adolphe (one player). Some girls have played seven years, and other players may only be in their second year of the sport. The team is coached by Melanie Hall and Jackie Dumaine, and managed by Stuart Ginter.
In the first half of the season, the team was undefeated in league play in the A3 division. In January, the team was moved up to the A2 division and won their first game in a convincing 7–3 victory against Kirkfield Westwood.
On January 8–10, the team participated in a tournament in Brandon. A great time was had by the players. Besides playing ringette, the girls got to enjoy the waterslides at the Canad Inns, and a pizza party. The team faced stiff competition from two teams from Regina and one team from Brandon. The U12s finished the tournament with a 1–1–1 record.
The U12s have seven more Winnipeg Ringette League games before playoffs, which commence at the end of February. The Eastman Ringette League playoffs are being hosted by the Red River Rage and will take place on the Louis Riel Day long weekend at the Ste. Agathe Arena.
