My roller derby team, the Red Deer Belladonnas, are fundraising! Our coaches (the incredibly introverted Quiet Riot & the fearless Flustercluck, both of the Glenmore Reservoir Dogs) made this video when we reached $1550. More money=more videos. If you laugh, please leave a tip and help us travel this summer.
They might coach the Belladonnas, but these two are tough, gritty, dirty dancing Glenmore Reservoir Dogs through & through!
Negative Nancy and Sparkle Motion ice their bashed noses at practice last night. A few minutes later they were right back to preparing for Saturday’s bout vs Lethbridge, taking place at the Acadia Recreation Complex in Calgary.
June 8th! Roller derby double header at the Acadia Recreation Complex (240 90 Ave SE, Calgary).
At 5:30 the Glenmore Reservoir Dogs play their rivals from Red Deer, the Dreadnaughts.
At 7:30 the Kill Jills take on the Lethbridge Derby Dames. The last game between these teams was decided in the last jam - which team will triumph this time?
Tickets are $10 in advance at Nerd Skates or online at this link: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/388914. Tickets will be available at the door for $15.
These are going to be down-to-the-last-whistle nail-biting games! Come catch the excitement!

It’s a new year - are you looking for a new challenge? Get involved in the growing phenomenon of roller derby! This on-skates info night at Lloyds will give you a taste of what this sport is all about: fun, fitness, and friendship. Don’t have roller skates? That’s okay! You can borrow a pair for the evening for free. That’s right, there’s no charge for admission or for use of roller skates, so what have you got to lose?
Chinook City skaters will provide a short derby demonstration, and then will be on hand to teach the basics of roller skating and answer questions about derby. Get tips and learn tricks from members of the Kill Jills, the Glenmore Reservoir Dogs, the Natural Born Thrillers and the Youthanizers. Then hang out, skate to some sweet tunes, and watch roller derby bouts on the big screen tv. It’s going to be a blast.
No experience necessary, and all fitness levels, ages, and genders are welcome. Our league includes men’s, women’s, co-ed, and junior derby - it’s really a sport for everyone.
Give roller derby a shot. We double dog dare you!
