Equipment
Managers can begin to work with their respective teams regarding the return of equipment and jerseys as the situation begins to normalize. There is no need to stress about collection at this time; however, we would appreciate and ask all teams to CLICK HERE to email our APRA Equipment Manager, Randy Taylor and provide the status and location of their equipment at this time.
The Executive team during this very difficult time would like to send out a message to our Ringette community to be safe. We share in your disappointment and look forward to everyone’s return to the ice once we get past the risk imposed by COVID-19. Stay Positive and see you soon!!! Don’t be afraid; BE SMART.
