Key Changes for 2026-2027

Removal of the Closest-Association Matrix

Athletes are no longer required to evaluate with the association geographically closest to them. This update provides families with greater flexibility and may shift tryout participation across clubs.

Underage Players No Longer Permitted

Underage athletes will not be eligible for team placement.
Exception: Underage participation may be approved only in cases of team viability and must receive formal approval from Ringette Ontario.

Unified Provincial Policy

The new framework replaces all previous team formation documents. Associations must align their tryout processes, communication, and timelines with the updated provincial standards.
