The 2007 World Ringette Championships (2007 WRC) was an international ringette tournament and the 8th (VIII) of the World Ringette Championships. The tournament was organized by the International Ringette Federation (IRF) and was contested in Ottawa, Canada, between October 30 and November 3, 2007.[1][2][3] The competition took place at the Ottawa Civic Centre which has since been renamed, "TD Place Arena" and was broadcast in Canada by Rogers TV.
The final game between Canada and Finland required an added period of overtime. Finnish player Marjukka Virta tied the game 4–4. Finnish player Anne Pohjola scored the winning overtime goal ending the game 5–4.[4][5] Finland won the world championship series.
