ERRA has received approval from RO to use slightly adjusted tryout timelines for the 2026-27 season. ERRA will release finalized dates for all member associations shortly.
MDRA will update this page with the ERRA tryout windows as soon as they are confirmed.
We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for our U14A, U16A and U19A pre-tryout conditioning sessions.
All sessions are offered at a flat rate of $25 per session. Registration capacity is limited to 20 skaters per session and 6 goalies per half-ice session (see dates, times, and locations below).
IMPORTANT: These sessions are currently available only to MDRA athletes. A registration password has been emailed to all members and must be entered for each session. Please do not share this password outside of MDRA. (Out-of-Association registration opens March 24 for U14/U16 and March 26 for U19A, subject to availability.)
Player instruction will be led by Allie Figley (Marcotte), a high-performance ringette athlete with years of elite experience, including representing Team Canada at the Ringette World Championships. Allie also led MDRA’s skills and powerskating sessions this season and brings exceptional expertise as a competitive evaluator. Her sessions will include skills, powerskating, ring control, and drills that athletes will see during tryouts.
Goalie instruction will be led by Olivia and Ari from the Dave Stathos Goalie Performance Centre, both of whom helped deliver MDRA’s goalie clinics this season. Their sessions are designed to build the technical and tactical skills evaluators look for during tryouts.
Registration can be completed through our RAMP portal under Camp and Clinic Registration.

Times have been kept as close as possible to original bookings and are listed below. The only date change is the session on April 16 moving to April 26.
