Cochrane Ringette Registration Information - 2025-2026 Season
Registration for the 2025-2026 season will open May 12th, 2025 for all divisions.
RAMP Registration
Please register online: http://CochraneRingette.rampregistrations.com
If you already have an account with RAMP from other sports or programs, you will use that same RAMP account login to register with Cochrane Ringette’s RAMP portal. If you do not have a RAMP account, you will need to set one up when you register with Cochrane Ringette.
Player Commitment
Ringette is a TEAM sport. By registering with Cochrane Ringette, your child will become an integral part of a team, which requires a commitment to fully participate in the program. Players are expected to attend all practices, games, and team events, including additional ice times, tournaments, playoffs, and playdowns. While we understand that occasional absences may occur, we encourage minimal absences to ensure optimal team and player development during both games and practices.
Children’s Ringette Program
Our Active Start, U10 and U12 age groups follow the format outlined by Ringette Alberta and Long Term Athlete Development with Ringette Canada.
Active Start: ages 4-6, a program that is based on fun, introducing basic ringette skills, being part of a team, and getting comfortable on the ice. Focus on the development of key skills and fundamentals through 3 vs 3 plus goalies game play on a cross-ice format with small-size nets and coaches on ice. Practices are once a week for 45 minutes with approximately 8-10 games on weekends (half home and half away games). Away games could require travel to Airdrie, Strathmore, Rockyford, Indus, Okotoks/High River. Active Start will also participate in the home Cochrane tournament in December and the Bunny Bash year end tournament in March.
U10 - Step 1-2-3: ages 6-9, a program based on fundamental skills development including skating skills, ringette skills, and basic goalie instruction for all players, with an emphasis on active involvement, participation and FUN. There are typically 1-2 practices per week. Games are scheduled on weekends and are played against Zone 1 and 2 teams and include travel to surrounding communities like Strathmore, Airdrie, Indus, Rockyford, Okotoks/High River. Travel may be required to Medicine Hat and Lethbridge.
Step 1, 2 and 3 teams participate in the home Cochrane tournament in December and the Bunny Bash year end tournament in March. Teams have the option to attend 1-2 additional tournaments as well.
U12: ages 10-11, the program continues to develop and refine ringette skills, players will be evaluated and placed on tiered teams pre-season depending on registration numbers. Game play is 5 vs 5 plus goalies on a full ice format with large nets and the introduction of shot clocks. The U12 teams compete in the Chinook Ringette League (playing against teams from Zone 1, Zone 2, and Zone 3). League games are scheduled by a central scheduler and may be played on weekends or weeknights. Travel to communities in and around Calgary, Zone 2, Medicine Hat, and Lethbridge can be expected. There are typically 1-2 practices per week and an average of one game per weekend (half home games and half away games). U12 teams participate in the home Cochrane tournament in December and the U12 Regionals year end tournament. Teams have the option to attend 1-2 additional tournaments as well.
Classic Ringette Program
U14 to U19: the program continues to develop and refine ringette skills, players will be evaluated and placed on tiered teams pre-season depending on registration numbers. Teams compete in the Chinook Ringette League (playing against teams from Zone 1, Zone 2 and Zone 3). League games are scheduled by a central scheduler and may be played on weekends or weeknights. Travel to communities in and around Calgary, Zone 2 and Medicine Hat, and Lethbridge can be expected. There are typically 1-2 practices per week and an average of one game per weekend (half home games and half away games). Teams may compete for Zone titles, provincials playdowns, and may attend provincial competitions.
Goalies
Goalies who commit to playing full-time at the U14, U16, and U19 levels throughout the season will receive a special discounted goalie registration rate, which is 50% of the regular player registration fee. To qualify for this discount, goalies must be available to play during Zone 2 playoffs, playdowns, and provincials. If they are unavailable during these times, they may be required to pay the full player registration fee. Cochrane Ringette Association understands unexpected family emergencies or medical issues can occur during the season, and goalies may be excused from the attendance requirement in such cases. More goalies than teams may register. U16 and U19 goalies are expected to have their own equipment. Full-time goalie registration is not available at the Active Start, U10 and U12 levels, as players in these foundational levels are expected to play all positions. Exceptions may be made for U12 players interested in playing goalie full-time (which is a maximum of 75% for the U12 division) based on board approval.
Register as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
