Months of waiting has passed, and time has finally arrived for the first official home game of the 2013 bouting season (okay, there was a black and white bout at Carleton last weekend, but that was an intra-league event, rather than a full bout).
Montreal Roller Derby's Sexpos make their way to our Nation's Capital this weekend to face off against the Rideau Valley Roller Girls' travel team, the Vixens. Well, they actually travel to Rockland, about 10-15 minutes past the easternmost edge of the city proper, but that's close enough for this to qualify as a home game. The bout takes place at Jean Marc Lalonde Arena (1523 DuParc Ave. Rockland, ON), with the game starting at 7:00pm
Tickets are $10 available at the door, with kids 10 and under allowed in for free
For those that want to ensure seats will be available, tickets can also be purchased at Neon Skates Ottawa (285 St. Patrick St. in the market) or online
For more information, as always, please refer to their event page on Facebook

Welcome To A New Bouting Season
Greetings, dear readers (and listeners to our podcast).
It is now 2013, and with the start of a new year, there is a whole new season of Derby to anticipate. And, to aide you in planning out your derby viewing summer, we would like to provide you with a handy list of all upcoming home games, broken down by month. As we are very early into the season, not all of the bouts have been finalized, but as new information is released by the leagues, the list will be updated, so make sure you check back often.
Please note that there are a variety of away games and tournaments that each of the leagues will take part in, and these will be covered in individual blog postings throughout the year, but this list only covers the games taking place here in Ottawa (and in nearby Kingston).
This year, Ottawa Derbycast will be on location at each home game in Ottawa (and as many of the non-concurrent home games in Kingston as we are able to attend), with recorder in hand to interview the team captains. Look for podcasts to be released at the end of each month, reviewing highlights from the home games.
