Equipment Lending Program
NDRA New Player Equipment Lending Program
The NDRA Equipment Lending Program was started in 2014/15 thanks to a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. It has been continued with generous donations of used equipment. We hope this program will encourage and help all families new to ringette to participate and have fun! This, in turn, contributes to the success of ringette in Newmarket.
