Ann Arbor is home to nation's only ringette team

With the Winter Olympics kicking off, many are looking forward to watching speed skating, skiing, and even the oddball darling: curling. But there’s one winter sport that won't be played in Sochi. In fact, it's difficult to find a game to watch anywhere in the U.S.

The sport is called Ringette, and although there are thousands of teams in Canada, there is only one homegrown team in the United States, and they are located in Ann Arbor. Current State’s Emanuele Berry visited the rink to learn more about this standalone team.
