The Calgary Deb Rep Team won provincials, and then reality set in and they came to the conclusion that they had no money to go to Montreal to Nationals..... Most of the players were students and everyone worked hard to generate some funds to help with expenses.
There was no financial support available from Ringette Calgary or Ringette Alberta at that time.

 

There was the garage sale ....

And then there was the CAR WASH ....

Plus there was a "fundraiser dance" where everyone made chili ...

BUT, once the team got to Montreal the entertainment was cheap.
