Black & White Scrimmage at the Upper Valley Vixens

Five our Level 2 and teamed skaters and Will Jettison from Capital District Trauma Authority headed over the mountains to New Hampshire to participate in an open, co-ed Black and White scrimmage hosted by the Upper Valley Vixens.

Everyone had a really great time. For a couple of our skaters, it was their first outside scrimmage. Everyone there from all the leagues around Vermont and New Hampshire welcomed us and treated us great. Our ladies (and Will) skated well and this event really helped shake off some jitters and put into practice the things we’ve been working on for over a year. Everyone learned a lot and we had a great time meeting other skaters from Green Mountain Derby Damez, Monadnock Roller Derby, Granite State Rollergirls, Mean Mountain Boys, Upper Valley Vixens, Central Vermont Roller Derby and more!

Things are moving forward with our schedule at Riley Rink. We have some summer dates and several leagues interested in coming to compete with us. Stay tuned for official announcements once everything is contracted!
