Blood and Thunder Roller Derby

Update: You can see my photos of the international Blood and Thunder All-Star game on my post here.

Cripes, that scares the crap out of me. Blood and Thunder All-Stars, this Saturday, December 4th at Downsview Park: The Hanger. The Toronto Roller Derby ladies will be joined by top talent from over North America in the last game of the season - a post season battle on wheels. Break out the new hosiery and grease those bearings.

"Taking advantage of visiting talent for the Blood and Thunder Magazine training camp, happening that weekend, players for this bout will be chosen from the top skaters attending the camp.  This bout will showcase all-star skaters from various derby leagues, including Montreal, Michigan, San Francisco, and of course Toronto.  This will be a gruelling challenge for the skaters, as competition will be high for a spot on one of the rosters.  Rumour has it that top derby coaches will be present, scouting for potential players for the first ever Roller Derby World Cup – tentatively scheduled for 2011, and to be hosted in Toronto by ToRD.

Bring your lawn chairs if you’ve got them, grab some friends, and head out to the Hangar for one last dose of hits and whips before the year ends! 

Doors open at 6:30 pm with the bout commencing at 7:30 pm.  Tickets can be purchased in advance from our ticket outlets for $12, online for $14, or at the door for $18."
