The 2011
Toronto Roller Derby (or TORD) Season Opener is one tiny week away and then the ladies of the flat track will begin a year of battles that will leave quite a few bruises and a few more rips in the lingerie.
The Saturday, February 5th first bout in the
Downsview Park's Hanger will see the 2010 Champion Gore-Gore Rollergirls versus the Death Track Dolls. Doors open at 6:30pm and the game starts at 7:30pm. I can't wait for the opening night when Gore-Gore players such as Bambi and Brim Stone get physical with the Dolls players like Land Shark and Downright Dirty Dawson.
The league has this to say about the match up "The Death Track Dolls are a veritable force to be reckoned with. Led by veteran captains Betty Bomber and Dolly Parts 'Em, the team is primed for a Dollmination in 2011 with a new lineup for this season and a renewed appetite for destruction! On the other hand, the Gore-Gore Rollergirls, led by Brim Stone and Dust Bunny are not to be taken lightly. Still liking their chops from their victory at last season's championship finals, these girls have not lost their appetite for blood".
Tips for new players or, like the marines say,
fresh meat can be found here. I guess a lot of people need a few good women (or sometimes a few bad women). I am intrigued by this tip: "There will be a time for semi-nudity and obnoxious self-promotion. And that time is after you've actually proven yourself on the track." Of course I disagree - there should always be time for semi-nudity.
