Cameron Pethybridge, a student at Carman Collegiate in Carman, Manitoba, helped her team win a bronze medal at the 2026 Western Canadian Ringette Championship last week. The tournament was held in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, from March 18 to March 21, 2026, and brought together the best young athletes from across the western provinces.
Pethybridge competed as part of the Team Manitoba U16A squad, playing alongside teammates Charlotte Montgomery, Maggie Houser, Brooklyn Main, and Eastyn Beach. This provincial team is supported by Ringette Manitoba and represents the high level of talent in the region’s youth sports programs.
According to the Macdonald Ringette Association, Pethybridge was one of several local players to participate in the championship. Another athlete from the same regional association, Piper Montgomery, also traveled to Saskatoon to represent the province in the U14AA division.
The Western Canadian Ringette Championship concluded with Saskatchewan taking the gold medal in the U16A category after a 6-5 victory over Alberta on March 21, 2026. For the Manitoba team, the bronze medal finish is the result of a full season of training and competition.
The achievement was announced to the school community just before the start of the upcoming spring break. Students at Carman Collegiate will be away from classes for the break from March 30 to April 3, 2026.
