| News: Learn to Skate & U8 Program - Registration |
In order for our association and the ringette community to continue to grow and provide a unique, healthy and fun activity for our players we must ensure we spread the word. Unfortunately, ringette is still one of the best kept secrets in sports. We're asking for your help to change this. Our Learn to Skate & U8 program still has room for 20 more players. If you know of anyone aged 4-8 who you think would like to try this great sport please share your experience with them and help us expand this great game! Details of the program; Our 20 week program runs Sundays at 4pm out of Inch Park Arena - Start date - October 21st. This season we're partnering with N'ce Stix skating to provide the highest quality skating instruction going. In addition to this our own Ringette coaches will introduce aspects of the sport as the season progresses using game based learning that has proven to keep the kids engaged. Our program cost is $225 for the season and we offer a free equipment lending program (details below). Please visit www.hamiltonringette.ca to register. You can contact president@hamiltonringette.ca for more information. Equipment Lending Program New this year our equipment lending program is free! This kit includes everything your player will need except for helmet, skates and neck guard. A safety deposit consisting of a post dated cheque in the amount of $250 is required and will be destroyed upon return of the equipment at the end of the season.

The Hamilton Ringette Association is excited to announce our partnership with Nick
Rotundi. Nick and his team will be running our Sunday Learn to Skate program for
children ages 4+ as well as offering a Power skating program for the U10 level and up.
Nick has been teaching players of all ages around Southern Ontario, Quebec and in
Europe for over a decade. He trains players from all levels including House League
beginners to Elite AAA to OHL and even players from the National Hockey League.
Nick’s coaching experience and passion for skill training makes him a well-rounded
instructor with vast knowledge and expertise, and as such he provides a highly sought-
after, unique approach to skating development theories. Nick currently coaches the
Minor Midget Hamilton Huskies AAA, as well as the Men’s Hockey program at
Redeemer College.
Nick’s true passion is helping players further develop their skating;
Stride, Agility and Quickness. His ability to make players understand the mechanics,
quickens the process of increasing speed and agility. Nick surrounds himself with
qualified on-ice staff who support his teaching approach while exemplifying his dynamic. Hamilton Ringette is excited to have Nick and his team bring their experience and skills
to our programs. Looking forward to a great season. See you all on the ice.
