Lakers Dominate Season Opener Against Voyageurs
Posted October 7, 2025
The Nipissing University Lakers Ringette team opened their season in style with a commanding 10-2 victory over the visiting Laurentian Voyageurs on Saturday afternoon at Pete Palangio Arena. The game started at 2:30 p.m., and the Lakers wasted no time setting the tone.
Coming out of the gates with high energy and crisp execution, the Lakers stormed to a 5-1 lead just ten minutes into the game. Their aggressive offensive pressure and structured defensive play set the stage early for what would be a well-rounded team performance.
Despite a short bench, the Voyageurs pushed back in the second and third periods, limiting the Lakers to one goal in each frame while adding one of their own. But the Lakers weren’t done yet. In the final period, they reignited their offensive spark, netting three more goals to seal the win and overwhelm the Voyageurs’ fatigued roster.
The victory was a true team effort, anchored by stellar goaltending from both Natara Daigle and Natasha Poitras-Vant, who each allowed just one goal and delivered a rock-solid performance between the pipes.
Offensively, rookie Morgan Campbell made a dazzling debut, tallying two goals and three assists to lead the scoresheet. Captain Melanie Brouse added two goals and one assist, while Adrie Johns contributed two goals and one assist of her own. Additional goals came from Chloe Ryall, Gemma Chatten, Karlina Fransen, and Eve Kobe, with Ryall, Chatten, and Kobe also chipping in assists. Molly Snyders rounded out the points adding an assist.
With a dominant performance and contributions up and down the lineup, the Lakers have set the tone for what looks to be a promising season.
Next up, the Lakers will travel to Oshawa from October 24 to 26 for their first tournament of the
season.
Let’s go Lakers!

Registration is Open!
Posted July 2, 2025
Dear WFRA Members,
We are pleased to announce that the Ramp Registration Platform is open for registration. A $25 Early Bird discount will apply until August 1st so don’t delay!
Ramp Registration Platform
If possible, please use the same username as last year when registering online so that your information from last year automatically populates. Please note that this year, payments will be accepted by credit card, Kidsport or Jumpstart only. Please contact me if this poses a problem for you. Note that pre-paid credit cards are accepted on Ramp.
The Ramp app will be running once the teams are finalized, which will be in late September-early October. Please consult our website schedule until then.
Families with Bingo Credits
Please do not register your child until the registrar sends out an email indicating that we have updated your account with the Bingo credits, which will take place in September. You will receive the Early Bird discount of $25 even though you will be registering in September. The Bingo credit calendar runs from September to August, which is why the credits are applied the following September. For those who wish to learn more about obtaining Bingo credits, please contact our Ways and Means Director.
Kidsport or Jumpstart Applicants
Kidsport and Jumpstart are programs that help ease the financial burden of extra-curricular activities. Please visit our Kidsport or Jumpstart subsidy pages for instructions on how to receive an “Application Number” for Ramp.
Respect in Sport for Parents program
Ringette Ontario requires that one parent of every ringette player under the age of 18 must take the Respect in Sport Parent Program by November 1. This course is mandatory to have the Player’s registration approved. If the parent has taken the course in the past (for any sport), they need only indicate the certificate number during the normal Ramp registration process. For more instructions, please check out Ringette Ontario’s RIS Parent Program Instructions.
The cost is approximately $15, takes about an 1h15 to complete, and can be applied across many sport associations. If you’ve already completed it for another sport, simply input the certificate number on the Ramp platform. Tip: Since it is largely audio with a few images, it is possible to sign in from your cell phone, pop in your headphones and listen to the program (while having to stop once in a while to click on answers). I did it while walking the dog 🙂
Goalie Recruitment Incentive
I have sent last year’s goalies (U12-U19) a Goalie Recruitment Incentive promo code to use during the Ramp registration process. Please check your junkmail or contact me if you have not received it.
