Call out for Officials!!!
Calling all ringette players in the U16 and U19 division, as well as anyone in the ringette
community! Are you interested in giving back to the sport of ringette while taking on new
challenges?
Becoming a referee is a great way to stay involved in the game of ringette, while
earning a little extra cash and getting some exercise in too! Eastern Region is looking
for individuals who would be interested in taking the leap into the world of officiating this
coming season. The game of ringette would not be possible without referees, and it
takes many years to develop the experienced officials that we need to keep the game
going.
The process to become a referee involves registering for a Level 1 Clinic through the
Ringette Canada Officiating Website
(https://www.officiatingringette.ca/o/index.php?page=204).
New referees are required to take this course to learn the basics of refereeing, and then
register themselves as officials with Ringette Ontario through the RAMP Registration
portal prior to stepping on the ice (ringetteontarioofficials.rampregistrations.com).
Newly registered and certified Level 1 Referees will then be scheduled with a mentor for
their first few games to ensure a smooth transition into their new role!
Anyone interested in becoming a referee this season should reach out to a local
association Referee in Chief (RIC) to express their interest. They will be able to provide
you with an update on the available clinics and can answer any other questions that you
may have. Looking forward to being back on the ice soon!
