RPEI’s High Performance Program is meant to provide high level players with opportunities to further develop their ringette skills and to provide opportunities to compete with other ringette athletes from across Canada. RPEI encourages all athletes to strive to succeed and do their best.
 
RPEI currently offers the High Performance Program for the U14, U16, U19 and 18+ divisions. Wave teams are expected to compete at the Atlantic and Canadian Ringette Championships (except the U14 Wave who are not eligible for CRCs). Edge teams are expected to compete at both the Atlantic and Eastern Canada Ringette Championships.
For the upcoming 2019-20 season, RPEI is planning to ice the following teams:

• U14 Wave, AA
• U14 Edge, A
• U16 Wave, AA
• U16 Edge, A
• U19 Wave, AA
• U19 Edge, A
• 18+ Wave

RPEI will support the creation of an Edge team for this upcoming season in all divisions if there are at least 15 players (1 of which is a goaltender) who tryout for the Wave  team, adhere to the High Performance policy with reference to the tryout process,  but are not selected.
Please note the following points which outline the formation of the Edge teams:

• Tryouts will be promoted clearly indicating that any player wishing to play at a high performance level (Wave or Edge) must attend the Wave try-outs following the mandatory attendance ratio as set out in the high performance policy.
• Once a coach is announced, tryouts will continue for the selection for the Edge team following the HP policy.
