Roller Derby Championship Game to be Televised

Update: Checkout my photos of the Championship game on my blog post here.

The final game of the 2010 Toronto Roller Derby season comes to town this Saturday November 13 and it is SOLD OUT! For the many fans that do want to see Chicks Ahoy take on the Gore-Gore Rollergirls you can watch it on Rogers Television on December 4th at 8pm - channel 10 in TO and 63 in Scarborough.

From their press release "The Gore-Gore Rollergirls are no strangers to the championships, having made it to this stage every year since ToRD’s inception.  They head confidently undefeated into the bout; however, a win for the Gores is definitely not guaranteed.  In 2008 the Gores also entered the final game undefeated, but it was the Chicks who skated home with the Boot—and they are determined to reclaim it.  Candy Crossbones, a jammer for the Chicks Ahoy!, comments that her team has been “getting better with every chance to hit the track,” and she feels that they will hit their peak performance this Saturday.

The Chicks Ahoy! will have to bring out their best strategies, as the Gores will not give up the Boot easily.  “We have been training really hard all year,” says Gore captain Dust Bunny.  With a much greater percentage of rookie skaters on the Gore roster, a lot will depend on how well those new skaters fare under the pressures of the final bout.  Dust Bunny is confident in her team, stating “we are prepared to play as a team, and win as a team.”

I will be there with Joe Fresh taking pictures of all the excitement that will happen during the battle for the boot.
