Eastern Region AAA Team

The Eastern Region AAA Team won the Gold Medal
at the Ontario Winter Games in Muskoka 4-7 March.

They won two relatively easy games in Round Robin play and three tough games getting them ready for the Medal Round. Our Eastern Region athletes lost their first game 4-1 against a very hard working Southern Ontario team, then settled down to win 4 in a row in the round robin. They soundly defeated Central Region and Northeasten Region with identical 8 - 1 scores along with two highly competitive wins, of 5-4 and 5-3 victories over over the North West and Western Regions. They ended the first round of play in a tie for first with the North West, being placed first by virtue of their 5-4 victory in the round robin. This guaranteed the young ladies a Gold or Silver medal as they went directly to the Championship Game. Northwest came out the winner of a 4-3 victory in the Semi-final game.

T
he Final did not disappoint the fans. Eastern won the Gold Medal with a hard fought 3 - 1 victory in the Championship Game.

CONGRATULATION GIRLS!

CONGRATULATIONS!

The Eastern Region Ringette Association is proud to announce the players and bench staff selected for the 2009-2010 Regional All-star Team (AAA) team.
The AAA team will compete in 3 challenge cup tournaments over the playing season and will end the year with their participation in the Ontario Winter Games. The 2010 Ontario Winter Games will be held March 4-7 in the Muskoka region.

The ERRA would like to thank all players who tried out for this year's AAA team. It is clear, as displayed during the tryouts, that our region has a rich and talented pool of ringette players to draw from and it is expected that this year's ERRA AAA team will once again be very competitive group.

We would also like to extend a huge thank you to all of the volunteers who assisted during the tryout process, including a significant number of independent evaluators who provided excellent and insightful information over a very long and busy weekend. The time commitment was very significant and it is very much appreciated.

Congratulations and good luck to all players and coaches!

Eastern Region Players Named to the Northwest
Composite AAA Team 2009 - 2010

This year the Northwest Ontario Region does not have enough players to field their own AAA ringette team. Ontario Ringette has decided to form a Northwest Composite AAA team. This team is composed of a few players from the Northwest region and the rest of the players for this year's team come from 4 of other 5 regions in Ontario . To be eligible for this team, players must have tried out for the AAA team in their home region and not been selected.

Tryouts for the Northwest Composite Team were held in Ajax July 4th and 5th. 42 skaters and 8 goalies from across the province participated in the tryouts.

3 players from Eastern Region were named to the team and another 3 players were named as alternates.

The Eastern Region Ringette Association would like to congratulate the following players:

Sarah Brown - West Ottawa
Karlinda Hinds - GCRA
Jessica Hutchinson - Ottawa
Sara Lawlor - GCRA
Brittany MacDonald - Nepean
Emily MacDonald - Ottawa

What are we doing about LTAD in the ERRA?
A public Q&A session was held on Tuesday, January 5th, 7:00pm in Room 202 at Walter Baker.
Read More >>> 

There is an Ontario Ringette Association LTAD Standing Committee Meeting April 17-18th.

From this will come directions on how Ontario Ringette will proceed with the LTAD implementation. The views that Eastern Region Representatives will be taking forward are the following:

We support the U-12 Provincials becoming a separate event from the other divisions. This will allow all three divisions of Provincial U-12s to compete at the same event. There will also be off-ice festivities in order to encourage the sense of community ringette is renowned for. We do not support any other changes at the U-12 level for the 2010-2011 season.

We do not support any changes to the U-10 division for the 2010-2011 season.

We do support changes at the U-9 (Novice Rec) division such as removing scores from all tournaments and replacing the final game with an off-ice party. This was piloted in Nepean and was successful and we believe that it promotes continuity in the region as there are no scores posted at NCRRL games for U-9 anyway.

We will advise the ERRA membership of any LTAD updates via the ERRA LTAD webpage after the ORA Board meeting on May 1-2.

If you have any concerns, please contact either Kim Noxon (Athlete Development Coordinator) or Byron Johnson (LTAD Representative).

game to other girls. She is the type of girl we are proud to have as part of
our sport!
