****Volunteers Needed for Evaluations:****

No successful season can run without an abundance of volunteers. A volunteer sheet has been posted via https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WnjSMTR2AOiqba9okdSH00GG9ZvKwmdslxIS0apLjXY/edit?usp=sharing . Please be prepared for future volunteer requests for remaining U16 evaluation skates once dates, times, groupings and locations have been determined. 

Welcome! SGRA is excited about the 2025/26 season. 

For those who do not know me, my name is Cory Peters, and I will be your U16 director for the upcoming season. I have a daughter entering her 3rd season at U10 and another daughter entering her 4th seasons at U12.  I have volunteered with SGRA in various coaching, team support roles and this is my first year as a director. I am eager to answer any question and grow the sport of ringette within our community.  Furthermore, I am looking forward to working alongside everyone to ensure a positive, fun and successful season. 

SGRA believes in fairness and transparency in our processes and policies. We strive to have open, honest and respectful communication and I ask that if you have any questions or concerns, please remember that during the season your first line of contact will be the team manager, who will then notify me, the U16 Director, of any concerns. Keep in mind, SGRA strongly encourages the Wait 24hrs rule be adhered to prior to raising any concerns.  If any concerns are timely or require immediate attention please notify me via email at u16dir@sprucegroveringette.com 

AA EVALUATIONS  

Thanks to all players who came out for tryouts and put on some very competitive sessions.

Congratulations to the following players who have been selected to the Spruce Grove Riot U16AA team for the 2025/26 season!

EVALUATIONS 

This year SGRA has once again hired Sports Evaluations Ltd. who will be responsible for the evaluation process. As such, the Evaluation Guide and Evaluation Criteria has been updated and I strongly encourage you to review this guide in its entirety.

 After each skate, families will be emailed (please check your junk folder) with details of their player's next evaluation skate. Families will NOT receive ratings or scores. U16 evaluations will be scheduled for after the September long weekend.

Please refer to the SGRA Evaluation Homepage and the U16 Home Page to stay tuned for future dates and times. 

PLAYER POSITIONS 

 For U16, the AA team will be selected by the headcoach with final approval of an over site committee. 

For U16A the top 60% of skaters will be protected and the U16A coach will be allowed to select the remaining 40% for the roster. Once the A coach selections have been completed the roster will be announced, the remaining teams will follow the same process.
