Friends First Program
The 2013-14 season saw the continuation of the Friends First movement with many ringette players wearing a red lace on one of their skates.
Friends First is a team based campaign, inspired by Hazel Skinner, who teaches young women to be kind, support one another and 'pay it forward'. Athletes on a team are encouraged to explore what makes them unique, and know that this diversity brings strength to a team. Female athletes are Unique, Beautiful, Confident & Supportive. Recognizing and encouraging these qualities provides a safe environment for a young woman to have the courage to explore her full potential. A red lace worn on the right foot is the symbol of this campaign and reminds athletes to strive hard in all of their competitions, but remain "Friends First" with everyone in their sporting community.
The aim was to eliminate negative competition between females, and replace it with a powerful inclusive Sisterhood that celebrates and embraces their unique skills and attributes.
