Team Registration

Before players can register the team must be registered in the RAMP database. Once all teams have registered, Membership Services will activate all the teams. 

Once activated, teams will send out the team invite code to all the players they entered on their roster during the team registration code. Players must register using the code to ensure they register under your team.

Player Registration (on Team)

GAARA Player registration, for returning and approved players, will open on July 30h to register on their team. Registration will be done through the RAMP Registration Portal for all players. To register as a player on a team for the 2025-2026 GAARA season, please follow the instructions for registering using the RAMP Portal.

Note: given there are legal forms that are read and signed as part of the player and bench staff registration, every team member is individually responsible for completing their own registration.

League Affiliate (Spares) 

A league affiliate is a player (skater or goaltender) who is a free-agent and not affiliated with any team. They will be able to spare for any team at their approved level, or higher, in accordance with section 11 of the League Rules and Regulations.

Bench Staff 

All teams are required to have a qualified bench staff member registered on their TRF and present during sanctioned events. Information on Bench Staff roles and responsibilities can be found on the GAARA website.
