We are pleased to share an update regarding our U16A program. Kerry Biggs has been selected as the Head Coach for our U16A team for the 2026-2027 season. Kerry brings extensive experience as both a player and coach at the competitive level, along with a strong commitment to athlete development and building a positive, team-first environment.
We are pleased to share an update regarding our U14A program. Rita Jones has been selected as the Head Coach for our U14A team for the 2026-2027 season. Rita brings more than 10 years of coaching experience in ringette and girls’ hockey, along with a strong passion for athlete development and fostering a positive, inclusive team environment.
We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for our U19A pre-tryout conditioning sessions (open now to all associations).
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).
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.
2 Full-Ice (Players Only) and 2 Half-Ice (Players & Goalies)
MDRA has updated it's policies for competitive teams for the 2026-2027 season. It is highly recommended you review these documents before signing up for tryouts:
MDRA requires all athletes participating in U14A and U16A competitive tryouts to complete the following three forms after registering for tryouts:
These forms outline expectations for athletes and families regarding attendance, behaviour, communication, and overall commitment to MDRA’s competitive program.
All three forms must be completed and submitted before the player’s first tryout session.
