Evaluations

Skills session results will not be used in the 2026/27 evaluation placements, but the resulting data will be available to coaches during team formation.

For U12 and up:

• Athletes must wear black ringette pants for evaluations
• Please bring a plain white and plain black jersey (no numbers on the sleeves) to match with your corresponding jersey colours. Jerseys worn inside out work well.
• Only players are allowed in the dressing rooms. If a player requires help with equipment, they must leave the dressing room.

For U14 and up:

• Helmets must be either black, red or white.

Athletes will be notified by email of their upcoming ice time. It is critical that you regularly check and thoroughly read each email from the association. The emails contain critical information on the process and what is coming-up next for your athlete.

Unable to Attend?

In the case of an injury or a medical requirement that a player is unable to partake in a part or whole of the evaluations process, please complete the NW Ringette Evaluation Exemption Form, read the Evaluations & Team Formation Policy and inform your player’s Division Coordinator.

If you have not received information about your player’s evaluations, please contact evaluations@nwringette.com as soon as possible.

REMEMBER…

The evaluations process can be a stressful time for many players and their families. It is important to prepare your athlete in a way that does not put undue pressure on them.

Please encourage them to do their best, but veer away from telling them they will make a certain level. If your player does not make the level you think they should have, remember how you handle the situation will directly impact how your child handles it.

Many volunteers are dedicating countless hours of their time to help make these two weeks go smoothly - we ask that you treat everyone with respect and patience as we work through any issues that may arise. With your help, we can ensure our athletes have an amazing experience this year playing ringette.

Evaluations Volunteers

The sign up for evaluation volunteers will be available in the coming days. You will receive an email from the volunteer coordinator with further instructions. These roles count toward your NW Ringette volunteer requirement.

Changes to the 2026/27 Evaluations

Each year, the NW Ringette Board of Directors (the Board) reviews the previous season’s evaluations process and offers changes and improvements to make the experience better. Changes to the 2026/27 Evaluations are marked in red in the Evaluations & Team Formation policy.
