Registration

Registration is NOT YET open for the 2024-2025 Thunder Ringette Season.

Welcome! If you’re a returning player welcome back, and if you’re a new player let me assure you that you’re at the right place.

Ringette is a great game and our Thunder Ringette Teams are happy you’re joining and are willing to help and share experiences where necessary.  We are truly excited that you’re joining us!

Firstly,  registration is completed through a system called RAMP.  This system is used for communication throughout the year and scheduling.  You can access it through a desktop/tablet however if possible you are encouraged to install on a smart phone device to stay up to date throughout the year.  You will have to create an account if this is your first time using RAMP.

RAMP REGISTRATION LINK

All Fees are payable directly to the St.Thomas Ringette Association via Electronic Funds Transfer to stthomasringettetreasurer@gmail.com 
Ensure your player’s first and last name are included in the comments.  Please use “Ringette” as the password

All players are required to have full equipment see below for more details.

What’s included 

Our fees are inclusive of all Ringette Ontario Fees for registration. Fees include ice time for practice and games.  We practice and play in both the St.Thomas Memorial and Joe Thornton Rinks here in St. Thomas.  New this year we are looking to include ice time in possibly Aylmer and Port Stanley.

In previous years our U10-U19 Teams were on ice 2-3 times per week.  We also run dry land training encompassing physical fitness, stretching and healthy lifestyle.  We also conducted some player development by booking power skating sessions for our teams.  The fees also cover the registration for the Ringette Regional Tournament held in late March early April and our year end banquet.  

The fees do not cover optional tournaments.  Where possible teams conduct some fundraising activities to off set these tournament costs. 

Bond Cheque

All players are required to provide a $200 bond cheque post dated to MARCH  31 2024.  Bond cheques will be collected at the player’s first ice-time in the Fall.  Parents and/or players are asked to complete 8 hours of volunteer time throughout the seasons by helping with bingos, scoreboard, and time clocks or volunteer on the Board.  There are numerous opportunities that require volunteers.  Provided that the volunteer hours are met, bond cheques will be returned end of season. 

Travel to games

Thunder Ringette plays others teams  from around South Western Ontario.  Travel to towns such as Exeter, Godrich, St.Marys, London, Tilsonburg, Kitchener and Waterloo for games is required. Most of these games are on Saturday or Sunday but we do have an occasional week day game.   While we are sure you will want to watch the game, sometimes other commitments get in the way,  arranging car pool with other Thunder families is encouraged. 

RESPECT IN SPORT 

Ringette Ontario requires one parent for every player under 18 to complete a course on Respect in Sport.  If you need difficulty accessing this course please contact the registrar.  The course is offered online takes approximately 2 hours to complete at a cost of $13. Once complete you will get a certificate and the certificate number is to be added to yours and your players RAMP profile.
