We experience A LOT of emails in our email account from parents who are keenly interested in the ringette scholarship program that is now available at the UA. I have received approx half a dozen heart warming emails from young ringette players in the last year & a half who have been able to stay in ringette, instead of having to follow parental orders to go to hockey, because of our scholarship program. The icing on the cake this year with UA Ringette scholarships was the choice made by one very good player at the UA to drop out of Pandas Hockey to come & play for us. With $20,000 in scholarships being awarded to UA Ringette players for 2007-2008, we are now able to compete head to head with hockey. The ringette scholarship info is posted on our website.
