This is another big week for Roller Derby here in the Nation's Capital, as the Rideau Valley Roller Girls put on another of their famous double header events, one of which will be the first Mens Roller Derby match to be played in Ontario. Also, the Capital City Derby Dolls unveil their new official B team. More information coming right up.
RVRG's last home bout of the 2012 season takes place this Saturday, August 18th. The Brewer Brouhaha starts with the Slaughter Squad, Ottawa's first and only Men's Roller Derby team playing against Montreal's Mont Royales, followed by RVRG's own Riot Squad taking on CCDD's Dolly Rogers.
The event takes place at Brewer Arena, 210 Hopewell Ave, right across from the Carleton University campus. Doors open at 6.
For more information, please check out the event's Facebook page.
Also taking part this weekend, CCDD's new house team, the Dollinquents, travel to Kingston to take on Kingston Derby Girl's new team, the Skateful Dead. The Dollinquents name has been used the last two years for the team sent to Fresh and Furious tournament that the GTA Rollergirls put on every summer in Toronto to showcase the years new crop of fresh meat. And when it came time to name their new house team, it was the clear favourite. For those of you living in the Kingston area, or who are interested in travelling down to catch the action, more information can again be found on the event's Facebook page.
While we're at it, can I just say that I hate Facebook, and their stupid forced Timeline? Who thought this was a good idea? Sorry, rant over. Lets have another great Derby weekend.
