U19

Directors

 

 

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

 

Greetings everyone, 

 

The U19AA evaluations are completed and we are looking forward to the remaining U19 evaluations to come.  SGRA is excited to announce that there are over 45 players registered at the U19 level that will enable us to roster 3 U19 teams including the U19 AA RIOT.  I would like to thank you all for staying in the game as 3 U19 teams maybe the first in a long time for SGRA. 

 

We are also pleased to announce and congratulate the U19A coach, Michelle Viney.  She brings a vast array of experience as an previous serving SGRA board member, former player and coach.  Michelle helped out at the U14 level last season and has coached at the U19 level previously.  Congratulation Michelle and we look forward to the 2025-26 season.  

 

For those who do not know me, my name is Kelly Lang, and I will be your U19 director for the next season. I have a daughter entering her 8th season at U16 and another daughter entering her second seasons at U12.  I have volunteered with SGRA in various coaching, team support roles and this is my third 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 U19 Director, of any concerns. Keep in mind, SGRA strongly encourages the “24 hrs rule” be adhered to prior to raising any concerns.  If any concerns are timely or require immediate attention please notify me via email at u19dir@sprucegroveringette.com 

 

 

EVALUATIONS 

This year SGRA has hired Sports Evaluations Ltd. who will be responsible for the entire 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. U19 evaluations will be scheduled for after the September long weekend. Please refer to the SGRA Evaluation Homepage and the U19 Home Page to stay tuned for future dates and times. 

For U19, the top 50% of skaters will be protected and the A coach will be allowed to select the remaining 50% of the roster. Once the A coach selections have been completed and A roster announced, the B coach will follow the same process as mentioned above. The top 50% of skaters will be protected and the B coach will be allowed to select the remaining 50%.

 

Evaluation schedule is as follow and maybe subject to change:

Wednesday September 03 - 8:15 - 9:15 PM at CBRA (Heavy Metal Place)

Sunday September 07 - 8:15 - 9:15 PM at TLC-N

Monday September 08 - 8:30 - 9:45 PM at TLC-N 

 

 

***As per 2025 Ringette Canada regulations is it mandatory for ALL PLAYER of ALL AGE GROUPS to wear shoulder pads at all events this includes league games, exhibition games and practices.  In addition, lacrosse gloves are NO longer permitted.***

 

Volunteers Need for Evaluations:

No successful season can run without an abundance of volunteers. A volunteer sheet has been posted via 2025/26 SGRA U19 Volunteer Sign-Up Sheet  to the U19 Home page for all U19 evaluations. Please be prepared for future volunteer requests for remaining U19 evaluation skates once dates, times, groupings and locations have been determined.
