A/AA Tryouts

A/ AA Team Tryout Announcement

2025 - 2026

Oshawa Storm Ringette Association is excited to announce Team Tryouts for the 2025 - 2026 season. Tryouts will be held for the following teams:

U14AA, U19AA, U19A

Step 1 - ACTION REQUIRED PRIOR TO REGISTERING FOR TRYOUTS and WARM-UP SKATES:

ALL PLAYERS are asked to review the following Guidelines and FAQs from Ringette Ontario regarding Equal Opportunity for Participation. The purpose of these Guidelines is to describe how individuals of all gender identities, and those who do not wish to gender identify or do not gender identify, are able to participate in our sport. Where there is demand, Clubs/Associations, Regions, and Leagues sanctioned by Ringette Ontario will attempt to offer A and AA level programming under the following Competition Categories:

• Girls/Women only ringette
• Boys/Men only ringette
• Mixed ringette (formerly known as Co-Ed)

During registration players will be asked to complete a declaration attesting to the Competition Category(s) of team(s) they are willing to play on during the 2025-2026 season. As our sport evolves, there will be more boys/males interested in playing at the A/AA levels but we also respect that not all female athletes will want to play mixed ringette at this time. For this reason, we want to ensure all members have a thorough understanding of the Equal Opportunity for Participation when answering the Competition Category question included on the registration form.
