This was a significant milestone for the sport, as it marked the first time that only one team represented the nation in international ringette competitions.

The formation of this national team paved the way for greater standardization in the sport and allowed Canada to bring its best players together to compete on the world stage.

This marked another important moment in the history of the sport, as it was the first time that nations specifically competed against each other with their best young players, all of whom were U19 (Under-19).

That same year, Canada established its first-ever all-junior national ringette team, taking the opportunity to send upcoming players to the merged junior-senior tournament.

The creation of the all-junior team allowed Canada to continue its tradition of success in the international scene and also provided a pathway for young players to represent their country on a global stage.

[7] In 1996, Canada's national ringette team became the first single representative Canadian team for ringette internationally, forming roughly 15 years after the death of Sam Jacks in 1975, the Canadian identified as the sport's inventor.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 World Ringette Championships were cancelled and therefore there was no Team Canada Junior for that year.

In conjunction with a gold medal, the winning senior national ringette team is awarded the Sam Jacks Trophy which was first introduced at the world inaugural World Ringette Championships (WRC) in 1990 in Gloucester, Ontario, Canada.

A new redesign of the Sam Jacks Trophy was introduced during the 1996 World Ringette Championships in Stockholm, Sweden.

Mirl Arthur McCarthy, commonly known as "Red", was the Canadian responsible for designing ringette's first set of official rules.
