Ajax Pickering Power Ringette is pleased to welcome you to the AJAX Invitational Tournament - LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
Ajax Pickering Ringette is working in partnership with our municipalities, Durham Public Health and Ringette Ontario in order to be able to host a successful and safe event for athletes and families. This event will be a medium sized tournament (59 Teams) with a focus on safety, competition and fun. We are asking all guests to consider their responsibility and role in helping to ensure a successful tournament, and minimize risk wherever possible.
TOURNAMENT COVID SAFETY:
Tammy Henderson, APRA COVID Safety Officer, will be accessible throughout the tournament weekend to provide support and answer any questions you may have about the health status of your team. If you are unsure of a situation, or have questions about procedures, safety protocols, or what to do in case of illness, Tammy is an experienced healthcare professional and will be available via email or by text/phone at 905-409-4690.
Here are some key reminders and guidelines that APRA will be following this weekend:

IMPORTANT:
Tournaments typically have a high congregation of people intermixing in non-ringette activity settings, such as dinners at restaurants, hotels, carpooling, and social mixing of the parents and the players in the facilities. While these aspects create some of the greatest memories, everyone must be cognizant that these also increase risk of exposure and threaten the ability of the team(s) and/or event to finish. As such, APRA will make best efforts to avoid non-ringette interactions wherever possible, and we are asking our guests to remain diligent and prioritize team safety prior to the event, and throughout the tournament weekend:
Ajax Pickering Ringette is committed to providing a safe and rewarding experience for all players. If you have any questions, please email tournaments@apringette.com.
GAMES:
This year we will be using Score2Stats to track all the action. Most tournament games will take place at the Ajax Community Centre. Some Friday and Saturday games will be hosted in the City of Pickering at Chestnut Hill Developments Recreation Complex (formerly known as Pickering Recreation Complex).
