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.
