The United States national ringette team, (more commonly known as "Team USA"), is the ringette team representing the United States internationally. America has only one national ringette team, the Team USA Senior team. It does not have an official national ringette team for the Junior division. Team USA Senior is overseen by USA Ringette, a member of the International Ringette Federation (IRF), and competes at the World Ringette Championships (WRC). The first appearance in international ringette by the United States took place at the first World Ringette Championships in 1990.[2] Team Sweden is Team USA's arch-rival with both teams competing in the President's Pool against Team Czech. Team USA and related activity occurs predominantly within the American state of Michigan.
To date, the majority of Team USA's roster and its coaches consist of individuals who were born in Canada while native born American ringette players remain rare, with Finnish born ringette players occasionally rounding out the roster. By 2022 the team had increased the number of American players on the national team. "Team USA is often composed of mostly Canadian athletes that have a US tie, such as citizenship. However, ultimately, we want to have players residing in the US make up the entire team, and we’ve made great progress towards this in the last few years, with almost half of the roster residing in the US recently. We cover quite a few different states now but there is still a lot of work to be done."[3]
History
From 1990–2010 the World Ringette Championships had only one division in which all national teams, including Team USA, could compete; the international ringette competition consisted entirely of adults and young adults. While Team USA competed against Team Canada and Team Finland during that period, they began competing in a new separate division known as the President's Pool beginning in 2013. There was an exception in 2016 whereby the Senior team competed in both the Senior Pool and the Junior Pool.
While a junior division was added to the WRC program in 2013 (U19), Team USA does not have a junior national team and therefore does not compete in the Junior Pool.
