FUN 2 - U9 information

Alright, let’s talk FUN2 (U9) ringette program!

Our FUN2 program is for children, usually ages 6-8, who are learning to lengthen their stride, ready to learn more rules of ringette, and have developed some basic skills. This group plays “Mini Ringette” against other association teams. “Mini Ringette” is half-ice games that are divided at center ice. FUN2 has two ice times per week, generally one practice during the week and one during the weekend. 

Registration fee: *$475 (season is September - March)

Tournaments (taking place over 1/2 ice for FUN 2 / U9)
There are 2 tournaments the entire association will play which include: 
- Ed Benoit Early Bird Tournament (November 21 - 23, 2025) - Fredericton
- Jamboree & Provincial Championships (March 13 - 15, 2026) - Bathurst
As well, many teams will play at the City of Lakes Tournament (COLT) in Halifax (January 15 - 18, 2026) and/or another one of the 2025-26 tournaments. 

Fees: 
In addition to the registration fee at the beginning of the season, each family would pay fees to help cover items throughout the season which includes but is not limited to: tournament registration fee, team bonding events (i.e. team parties etc..) and other fees as determined by the team. This is reviewed at the beginning of the season and can vary depending on the number of tournaments the team attends. 

Volunteering: 
We ask all families to volunteer 5 hours at the Ed Benoit Early Bird Tournament in November. This is the association's annual fundraiser - which keeps our registration fees down. You can find additional details in our volunteer policy.

Ringette Equipment: 
Full equipment is required to be worn by all skaters which includes:  CSA approved helmet with mask, neckguard, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, hockey/ringette pants, shin pads, jock/jill, and skates. If you plan to rent equipment and have not already reached out to Wendy at Fredericton Ringette Rentals, we’d recommend you contact her to make an appointment -frederictonringetterentals@gmail.com.
