West Ottawa Ringette also now offers an equipment loan program to new ringette players from the ages of 4 - 7. This provides 26 players who are new to the sport with all necessary equipment, except for a helmet and skates. Not only do they learn to skate, but they meet new friends and are introduced to the great sport of ringette. More information will be available at the Come Try Ringette event!
The Ringette Equipment Exchange of West Ottawa has been created as a closed Facebook group to members of ringette associations from western Ottawa. The purpose is to facilitate the exchange of ringette sports equipment. Items being offered need to be in good condition and the onus is on the seller (or the person gifting items for free) for liability purposes. It is highly recommended that if you are gifting an item for free, you use a fair offer policy (FOP), such as letting an item be viewed for several hours before selecting a winner.
Representatives from WORA will be present at the Come Try Ringette event to answer any questions you may have. There will also be on-ice helpers to assist new skaters and those who made need extra help.
You have nothing to lose, so come on out and give ringette a try!
