We are thrilled to announce that Céline Leduc and Alyssa Mainwood will lead our program as Head Coaches for the 2025/26 season! Both were instrumental in the success of EOAARA’s inaugural season, and we are excited to see their continued impact in shaping our athletes and strengthening our program.
With over 40 years of coaching experience at the competitive and regional levels, Céline brings a wealth of knowledge and leadership to our team. She has also served as Head Coach in the Ringette Ontario High Performance AAA Program for the past three cycles.
“I was fortunate to play the game at the Competitive level and played in Provincials, Nationals and the Worlds. Coaching for me is an opportunity to develop the whole athlete: ringette skills, mental well being, nutrition, off ice training and team building. I am really looking forward to coaching next year as we continue to grow our association and develop our athletes.”
Alyssa has been coaching at the AA level for 14 years, including four cycles in the Ringette Ontario High Performance AAA Program with Eastern, United, and Team Purple. As a lifelong ringette player, she competed with the AAA Eastern team and in the NRL with GCRA and Gatineau.
"Coaching to me is so much more than simply winning or losing. This sport and the coaches I had growing up are the things that helped shape me into who I am to this day. I strive to be the type of coach my athletes can trust and respect, while continuing to develop as ringette players and people."
