Play as a pick-up, you won't regret it

A huge thank you to Coxy Roller and her beautiful team for letting a few of the GPRDA RadLeak Rollers play with them over the weekend. Hacksaw, aROARa, Iron Eden, CatASStrophe, and TNTina played with the Whitecourt Roller Derby Association Hot Rollers in Roller Mayhem in Peace River. 

Two hard fought games against the Grim Reapers and KillBillies! One big supportive team!

If you were ever thinking about playing as a pick-up player, do it. Not only is it a great way to spread your derby social circle, you learn a lot too. Seeing how other teams work their lines, work together, and seeing how a team can persevere back-to-back games was something to admire. 

Jaded Lillin', one of our RadLeak Rollers, also filled in for Grim and she played like a BOSS. 

A big thank you to Grim for hosting the event! A big thank you to the REFS and NSOs!!! You are all the real MVPs! Thank you to everyone that made the event happen. 

We hope to have an event of our own that you can come support very soon!

Ps. Hacksaw and aROARa took some MVP action for the second game. MVP Blocker and MVP Jammer went to the players from GPRDA, respectively. A HUGE thanks to some of those vets that pushed aROARa to play out of her comfort zone -- she couldn't have done it without you.
Overall, it was a great experience and would do it again and again and again.
