Slammah Montana's been around with the WCR since nearly the beginning. She used to write all the recaps for the league as "Kim 'Full' Nelson," and is currently the head of Media Relations. Learn her secrets of success!

Since June of 2009, when the Manic Attackers dethroned Hell’s Belles and took the Ivy King Cup as champions of Chicago’s Windy City Rollers, questions have swirled in anticipation of wholesale roster changes across the four home-league teams. How would the Belles fare, returning just two skaters with a full year’s experience? Did all-world Fury jammer Kola Loka lose a step while out last year on maternity leave? Who among last year’s up-and-comers would break out as new stars? How would Grand Raggedy transfer Jackie Daniels look? And, most intriguing of all, would Chicago fans turn out in big numbers to welcome the new season? Questions answered.

As we prepare for the 2010 Windy City Rollers local season, our four home teams are hard at work gearing up for the season opener on January 30. Going into the Rollers' sixth season, the league can boast some pretty good parity. All four teams have at least one Ivy King Championship; The Fury being the team with two. The 2010 season will see the most new faces of transfers and rookies on the four home teams since 2006, due to retirements and a new league rule that allows some veterans of the Windy City Roller All-Stars to declare travel team-only status.

Throughout the course of our 2010 Season (our SIXTH! Do you believe it!) I'll be interviewing our league skaters for the blog. Be sure to check out our HOME OPENER on January 30 at UIC Pavilion. Tickets and more information are available at http://www.windycityrollers.com!
