Equipment Requirements
Ringette Pants - effective 2022-2023 season and going forward:
Players in U12 and up are required to purchase their own St.Albert Ringette Association Pants to wear in games. U10 teams will still rent pants for the foreseeable future but players are able to purchase their own if they so choose.
Pants are for sale on the Source For Sports St.Albert Webstore and in-store. Pants with another association colours/logos or plain black practice pants are not permitted in league games.
We recommend purchasing pants in the early summer (or late spring) for the following season to allow adequate time for pants to arrive if they need to be ordered.
Please also visit the St.Albert Ringette Sell & Swap page on Facebook for the opportunity to purchase used equipment from the ringette community.
When purchasing ringette equipment, consider these two important details:
- Make certain the player is adequately protected
- The fitting should allow freedom of movement so the player can properly perform the necessary skills and enjoy the game.
A complete set of ringette equipment can be purchased for a reasonable cost. There are many discount sports stores in the St. Albert (and Greater Edmonton Area) that buy and sell used equipment. Please keep in mind that the equipment must fit properly to provide maximum protection.
