Equipment Requirements
NEW FOR THE 2022-2023 SEASON:
In following other associations, St. Albert Ringette Association is discontinuing pant rentals for U12-U19 starting in the 2022-23 season. U10 teams will still rent pants for the foreseeable future, but are able to purchase their own if they so choose. To make this transition a smooth one, we are allowing SARA players to keep their current pants for $30 if they like, hosting pant swap and sales, and will have new pants for sale on the Source For Sports St. Albert webstore and in-store.
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.
