ANOTHER OSDA MEMBER HEADS TO THE THROWDOWN
In addition to the three OSDA representatives already announced as heading to the Throwdown in the Sound Tournament in Tacoma Washington, the OSDA is proud to announce that Arnold "Skip" Schoen, the OSDA Director of Referee Training and Certification, will also be in attendance. Skip was one of the primary architects of the OSDA rule set along with Judy Sowinski. Skip is the OSDA's Head Trouble Shooting Referee and as such has officiated at all OSDA games played on the East Coast. Skip has a long and varied career in Roller Derby. He began skating in 1968 for the Warriors and during his career skated for teams as varied as the Detroit Devils, the New York Bombers and the Canadian Braves. He is best known for his run with the Eastern Warriors where he played from 1968 thru 1972. If you have any interest at all in becoming an OSDA referee, this is the man to talk to. OSDA is delighted that Skip was able to clear his schedule and join us at the Throwdown.
