History
[edit]Team P.E.I. (Prince Edward Island) made history after finishing in fourth place, having never finished higher than ninth place since the 1991 Canada Winter Games.[2][3] Team P.E.I fell to Team Saskatchewan in the 2023 bronze medal game. The game had been tied at 4-4 until Saskatchewan scored in overtime.
Prior to their historic performance at the 2023 Canada Winter Games (CWG), the team had only won a single game during the 2003 Canada Winter Games in New Brunswick. The Prince Edward Island team came in eighth place during the 1991 Canada Games in Charlottetown, P.E.I., the year which also marked the inaugural inclusion of ringette in the Games competition.
