MEDIA RELEASE
New Name for Grande Prairie Roller Derby Team
GRANDE PRAIRIE- The Grande Prairie Roller Derby Association has made a huge stride and locked down support from a local business. Jiffy Lube Grande Prairie has put their faith in the sport and with a new sponsor comes a new name for our team- The RadLeak Rollers.
The team will be representing the Swan City, and new sponsor, at our next bout in Fort St John on April 28. The fun doesn’t end there as the team has more up their sleeves for 2018.
“Local sport brings people into the community and gets people involved. Support for sports, like roller derby, promotes tourism in the community as well as healthy living in Grande Prairie,” said Jaded Lilin’, RadLeak Rollers Insurance Representative and player.
“We want people to be themselves. Roller derby is an all inclusive sport and it doesn’t matter what size or shape you are, it is all about being yourself as you already are,” said Hacksaw, RadLeak Rollers Coach.
Although the team is based out of GP and sponsored by a local business in the city, the team still hasn’t been able to lock down space to practice and host games or scrimmages. Right now, the team is making due with practicing in the old Clairmont curling rink. The RadLeak Rollers continue to lobby for affordable space to call their own.
