It's Offical!!

"My Reaction" by Shreddy
Crocker..LOL

I am officially now a Derby Girl! Yes folks my name was called, I heard it and accepted the challenge! I am a member of Hits n' Sass!  I never would have thought I would be here but I am and I am so excited I haven't stopped yammering on about it....LOL  Check here to view the official roster >> www.hitsnsass.com . 

 

I went out last night with the girls and promised myself I wouldn't check the darn site every 15 minutes....so at 930 after Pixel Ninja said something about server issues I assumed nothing would be posted anyway....needless to say he was just having some fun with me,...LOL (I think he is having to much fun dropping a couple names at a time every couple days..LOL).  Close to midnight I thought I should check and wow I was surprised! ....so needless to say EVERYONE heard my reaction and I sure turned some heads with my little "I'm so excited dance"...LOL I was glad I found out when I did because I then was able to officially celebrate with the some of my favorite derby gals! ....I requested our Leagues favorite song and we all danced, drank and had a blast. 

 

I am so very excited I cant even really put my thoughts together....but I will say this....I have worked hard and as coach said "you earned it" I promise team I wont let you down!



My coworkers showing me some
Derby Love today!



Also added to the roster with me last night was Barbarian of El! Yeahhhh girl I am so happy for us both! Now we can hip check girls on the track instead of each other! Congratulations hun, also very well deserved!

Crash N' Turn

History in the Making!

It is time ladies and gentleman! Are you ready for it???? The day has finally come....Dieppe Roller Derby has just starting drafting our league members into the FIRST team Hits N' Sass! And OMG I am soooo excited I can barely think of much else today!!

 

 

Everyone in both A and B training squads have been working so hard and this has been anticipated by all of us for some time now.  Each of us working very hard to be a part of the team....the first team!  Once you have a team then that means preparation and training for the 2012 bout season......whoo hooo!!!!!!

 

There are a lot of spots up for grabs and who will be on DRD's first team is still unknown to us! Teams can have up to 20 players with 14 dressing for a game.  Once the roster is full then we start to plan for the next team :) The team website has been updated and a roster page has been added...Pixel Ninja (our coach) is seriously trying to make us freaking crazy by only adding a few names every couple of days...LOL  He and the team captains have selected the team and now its just a waiting game to see who gets drafted and when.  So the idea is that you....yes YOU my friends, family and fans find out when each of us do so be sure to check the website to see who has been drafted to Hits N' Sass....keep your fingers crossed that yours truly makes the cut :) Bookmark this website and check it often >> www.hitsnsass.com

 

I would like to congratulate Smokey (team captain) and Fire Crack Ya (assistant team captain). These girls have worked very hard and both are very well respected by all of our league members! This new role for each them is well deserved!

Smokey: Team Captain!

Fire Crack Ya:
Assistant Team Captain!

As new people are drafted I will add a quick blog update to share my excitement for my friends with you!

Happy Halloween My Friends

I have to work tonight :( It is Halloween and that means time to do Pumpkin Patrol.  I work for Rogers and every year we patrol the street to make sure your little trick or treaters are safe and sound!  While I am busy at that my team mates of the Dieppe Roller Derby will be pushing shopping carts through the streets of Dieppe collecting non perishable food items for "Trick or Eat".  There is no practice tonight however making sure our kids are safe and making sure that local food banks get the focus and donations they need so much is very important and sounds like a pretty good reason to cancel a practice. 

Happy Halloween Everyone!





Boys?

Oh yes ladies and gentleman there is something for everyone at the Dieppe Roller Derby! Right now our league is focusing on developing our women's teams but yes men do play roller derby too! Right now we have 4 men plus our coach and they are training with us, learning the game and will be refs and maybe even coaches as we grow.  But what is in the works is just as exciting to watch unfold as our women team is our men's team.  Like Hits n' Sass, Camokaze Killers is slowing becoming its own too.  We have watched these guys grow as we have, they have learned to skate, earned those ninja bruises and of course get the crap kicked out of them by a bunch of girls....LOL So for my male readers if your interested in becoming a part of this unique squad send an email to brad@diepperollerderby.com! Plus us the girls don't mind another guy around to smack on the butt when you do a great job....hummm I mean give you a pat on the back...LOL

Our guys are great! And when I say great I mean fantastic! They are such good sports and even let us get away with dressing them in Tutu's and high heels only on very special occasions...LOL  They show up and help at all of our fundraisers and even volunteer to help wonderful causes like "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" a fundraiser supporting against Domestic Violence a group that is very near and dear to our hearts as we the Dieppe Roller Derby works very close with Crossroads for Women. Roller derby is about empowering women and what better way to give back to our community!

Let me introduce you to the boys ...:)



"Shreddy Crocker"




Hasn't picked a derby name yet so we will
call him "Hasn't Picked a Derby Name Yet"...lol




"JagerMasters"




"Quad of War"



Black and Blue: The Ninja Bruise

I have been very lucky thus far in my Derby Journey not to have ended up all bruised and battered looking LOL Until now! I am sure that all the drills that we are doing now involving contact have a lot to do with it, I mean I guess its a given considering the pace has stepped up a lot since moving to A squad.  We aren't just learning to skate anymore its all about learning the game and technique now.  Getting knocked over by my teammates is bound to make me a little tender at times, but is still sooo much fun!

 

So we call them "Ninja Bruises", Bruises that are derby related but your unsure exactly what you did to cause them, they start off light then get pretty crazy looking.  These are pics of my first one.  I should also add that being bruise free this long I have earned 4 moew just like these! So let just say my legs are looking a little Black and Blue ...LOL

 

A Derby Photo Shoot

We are in the process of the girls getting individual shots taken for our player profiles.  Thanks to my friend Cindy Johnson for helping us out and taking some fantastic pictures! Here are some of the ones from my photo shoot taken last month....Am I starting to look the part?...LOL
