registration will open for those born between 2015-2021. The base registration fee will be $500. Evaluations will be held in September to determine which Fundamentals level (1-3) your player will be placed.

Open (18+) Teams:
Initial team registration shall include the coaches’, manager's and treasurer’s names, addresses, phone numbers, every player’s name, address, and birth date on the appropriate form. The League Registrar may require proof of birth date.

Team registrations must be submitted to the League Registrar by the appointed date for that playing year. Any extensions are at the approval of the Buffalo Plains Ringette Association executive upon recommendation from the appropriate zone.
