HCRD vs. Mississippi Valley Mayhem Results

Restless Edit — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 01:14:13 +0000

'Twas the Fight Before Christmas was a huge success! HCRD came out on top, winning the bout against the Mississippi Valley Mayhem 165-158. As always, it was wonderful to see our Mayhem friends and to meet some new derby friends from Thunder Bay Roller Girls. Everyone skated their hearts out and provided an awesome show for 250 spectators. The event was sold out within a week and people were being turned away at the doors. Stay tuned for our next planned home bout in March!

Helping Animals Find Homes

Restless Edit — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 01:04:39 +0000

As a result of our gift-wrapping adventures at Harley Davidson Sports Center these past two weekends, we were able to help raise over $500 in donations for the Animal Allies Humane Society! Not only that, but every dog that shelter employees brought to Harley Davidson ended up finding a new home! Even a 13-year-old Lab who could have spent his last days in the shelter ended up finding a home! We were honored to have been a part of this cause and look forward to doing it again next year. Please remember that there are several animal shelters in our area: Animal Allies in Duluth, Animal Rescue Federation in Superior, Douglas County Humane Society, and Friends of Animals in Cloquet, to name just a few. All of these organizations are in dire need of donations, supplies, and volunteers. Please consider supporting any of these organizations.

The Harbor City Roller Dames are currently recruiting new skaters of all skill levels, body shapes and sizes. The phrases "too short, too tall, too big, too skinny, and too old" don't exist in our derby! Must be 21 years of age or older. Come check out a practice on Wednesday or Sunday evenings from 5:45 to 7:15 at the World of Wheels Skate Center in Superior! No equipment required to watch. Equipment required to practice includes: helmet, mouth guard, wrist guards, elbow pads, and knee pads. Who said there aren't any cool sports for girls to play!!!

Roller Dame Limerick

There was this chick from Duluth.

Who roller skated all of her youth.

She worked on her skills

And skated drill after drill

Until I knocked out her tooth.
