We’ve been somewhat lacking in the events department this week, so we’ll make up for it with a double-whammy today, and something extra tomorrow. There. We cool?
Alright. Let’s talk roller derby.
This long weekend, the Oil City Derby Girls are sending their All-Stars to picturesque Boise, Idaho for the Spudtown Knockdown. One of two Canadian teams in mix, they’re sure to do Edmonton proud.
If you’re not headed to Idaho for the Labour Day weekend, you can catch the Spudtown action online, at the Derby News Network.
Oil City is back in Edmonton action on September 18. They’ll be taking on Calgary’s Hellion Rebellions in the WildRose Challenge at Northlands. The Edmonton EXPO Centre is a bigger venue, so be sure to head out and support the locals.
Now, while that’s two events, it’s not the double-whammy I promised.
No, the second half of this roller derby smackdown concerns the E-Ville Roller Derby. Their new season begins this month.
These ladies will get their new season rolling (see what I did there?) with a double-bill on September 25, at the Kingsway Hangar.
E-Ville also has a junior league (where teens can learn the basics of the game), and they’ve got a fundraiser coming up at the start of October.
Edmonton, get out there and support your very active roller derby scene.
