"Whip It" is being anxiously awaited by roller derby luvvers. I read this AM that cast is being added, http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Cast-Added-to-Barrymore-s-Roller-Derby-Opus-9348.html and one cast member is Zoe Bell, who was Uma Thurman's stunt double in "Kill Bill".

No Haven, you are not.


Perusing roller derby news is always a treat for me. There are new leagues still popping up in cities across the globe, and media catches on to startup leagues in their areas, the stories are always similiar, but different. Each league has a different challenge... space to train and play is the biggest, enough players, refs and support, and sponsors probably ranks second. What I noticed with my searches this week is that there are leagues operating almost everywhere now.
But not here in Mississauga - but that may change. There are the new GTARDS (Greater Toronto Area Roller Derby). I've met the founder of this new league recently at the HCRG Eh! vs ToRD CN Power game, and their logo kicks... I'll try to grab it off Facebook for you.

Anyway, I heard tell of a tournament GTARD is putting on in August for the fresh meat rookie teams cranked up and ready to go. I'll have more info available soon I hope.

I need to find some time to see what else is up in roller derby this week, so if anyone has anything they want me to go ferret up info on, just let me know!
