Competitive information

For the 2025-2026 season, MDRA will host tryouts for U14A and U16A competitive teams.

📌NOTE: MDRA has decided not to host a U19A team for the 2025-26 season. This decision was based on an analysis of cohort numbers, levels, and past results. MDRA U19 players are encouraged to try out for an A team in another association (Please complete the ERRA U19 Intent Form if you choose this option), or they are welcome to stay with MDRA at the U19B level. We do plan to reassess the situation for the 26/27 year, and hope to have sufficient numbers to host a 19A team again at that time.

MDRA commits to making and communicating a decision on team viability prior to the first tryout time. This will allow players and their families sufficient time to act accordingly.

U14A and U16A Spring Conditioning Sessions

In preparation for tryout season, MDRA is offering spring conditioning (rust buster) sessions. Priority will be given to MDRA players.

Registration opens on March 7, 2025. Sessions will be opening up to out-of-association players on March 26. Each session will cost $20. There will be limited space available for these sessions.

These sessions will offer a combination of skills/drills and scrimmages.

U14 sessions (2012 - 2013)

U16 sessions (2010 - 2011)

ERRA A/AA Tryout Intent Registration

As per Eastern Region Ringette Association (ERRA) all players intending to tryout for any U14/U16 A or AA level for any association within the Eastern Region are asked to register as soon as possible. This will help the association with their tryout planning and communicate with those who are registered.

If a player's intentions change from the time of submission to the dates of the tryouts they should re-submit as soon as this is known, including a short note about the change in the "Comments" section.

📌NOTE: Since MDRA is not hosting AA teams for U14/U16, players have the ability to choose any order for their association priority for tryouts (i.e. #1 WORA, #2 Nepean). However, since MDRA is hosting A teams for U14/U16, players MUST choose MDRA as their first priority for tryouts, and then any association of their choice for their second priority (i.e. #1 MDRA, #2 CORA).

2025-26 Tryout Costs

Tryouts for U14A and U16A will each cost $100.

If a player requires a set of tryout jerseys, they will cost an additional $50. You will only need to purchase if you don’t already have an MDRA set of tryout / sort out jerseys.

Tryout fees must be paid in advance of the first session. Registration will open on RAMP by mid-March 2025 for U14A/U16A. Please stay tuned for more information.
