Gore-Gore Rollergirls vs Chicks Ahoy - April 9th

You know what I like about the Toronto Roller Derby? EVERYTHING! I like the scantily clad battlin' femmes, I like how the action and excitement of a hard fought bout is worth every penny of the reasonable ticket price, I like how friendly and often shy the ladies are when greeting their cheering fans and I like how the beer isn't $20 a can.

The 2010 Champions Gore-Gore Rollergirls will be rolling against Chicks Ahoy at the Downsview Park Hanger - game time at 6:30pm. The league says "The Chicks Ahoy! are no strangers to victory. Team captain Tara Part is confident the sailors will emerge victorious in their rematch against the champs: “We've been training really hard on developing our strategies and especially our team work... which I believe is the key to a successful team.”As for the Gores, the champs are eager to defend their position at the top. Taking inspiration from the leopard whose motif appears on their uniforms, team captain Brim Stone claims “Adaptability, speed, stealth and opportunistic hunting habits will win the Gores this game.”

Quad City Chaos March 26-27

One of the best weekends of the year will be the upcoming Toronto Roller Derby Quad City Chaos matches at the Hanger in Downsview Park. What makes these games so special is that the Toronto All Star team, CN Power, takes on teams from across Ontario and a team from Quebec. Plus they play during the day so this is a great time for everyone to get some pictures as the sun provides a lot more light in the arena as compared to their usual evening games. You can have fun watching the daily matches then head out and have fun in the night.

This is what the league has to say "Toronto Roller Derby is pleased to announce the second annual Quad City Chaos invitational, March 26^th and 27^th 2011!

Toronto’s CN Power will welcome fellow Women’s Flat Track Derby Association apprentice team the Vixens from the Rideau Valley Rollergirls (Ottawa), as well as WFTDA-certified teams Tri-City Thunder (Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge) and the New Skids on the Block from Montréal! 2 days, 4 of the best teams in Canada, 5 action-packed derby games in Toronto!
