It’s contest time!
We’ve got four E-Ville Roller Derby tickets to this Saturday’s “Declaration of Derby” between our own E-Ville Dead and the Rat City Rollergirls.
It’s Edmonton vs. Seattle, and will be a great way to celebrate the births of both countries.
So, to win these bad boys, how about you give me a good Edmonton-related roller derby name.
Check the roster of the E-Ville Dead for some great examples of the play on words. I’ll get the ball rolling…thinking about the Muttart Conservatory and City Hall I came up with “Pam Pyramids.”
If we get more than two entries I’ll draw for the tickets. And there will be two sets of tickets, we won’t make four of you go by yourself.
How about “West Edmonton Maul” or “Go-Go Garneau”?
K, that’s all I’ve got…
West Edmonton Maul is fantastic!

How about these 3?
The Caernarvonvor – (Caernarvon)
wRecks your face – (Rexall Place)
Hellerslie – (Ellerslie)
It’s perhaps a better venue name than a roller derby player name, but the Cut ‘Er Dome comes to mind. More later.

you’re right i don’t need tickets. i just wanted to participate. and “fuckin’” is the epitome of edmonton.
Alright…I’m writing your names down and putting them on tiny pieces of paper and going to draw 2 winners…stay tuned…
While we’re waiting, I just want say thanks for all these fantastic derby names. I can’t believe you came up with so many!
My faves include Horror-lak Park, Cut-er dome, West Edmonton Maul, Ellerslay and Hellerslie and Holly Rude. Kudos to referencing everything from neighbourhoods to landmarks.
Congrats to Lisa (the first Lisa) and Big Daddy! E-mails full of details are on the way.
Thanks to everyone for the great names.
Be sure to wrangle free tickets from E-Ville if they try and steal your suggestions. ;)
Those were amazing!! See you all Saturday!
