Western Region 2008 – 2009

Elite Development / WORL A-AA Report


Welcome everyone to the 08-09 Ringette season. For some of you the summer sports season has just wrapped up and you’re eager to slide into an entertaining season of Ringette.


For those of you involved in preparing for Provincial play the summer kept you somewhat busy with A and AA tryouts and training. This will be the first season the Western Ontario Ringette League used a Tryout and Selection Process for forming the A and AA teams. We will let our season get underway before we look back and analyze the opportunities to improve on the program.
