The Ringette Canada Hall of Fame was established in 1988 by Ringette Canada, Canada's governing body for ringette, to honor notable individuals and groups associated with the sport.
The Ringette Canada Hall of Fame includes six categories: founder, builder, official, team, coach, and athlete. A number of Canadian national ringette teams and their players have been inducted over the course of its existence, as well as organizers, administrators, coaches, and officials.
