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.

This Saturday, January 23rd, come out to Reggies Music Joint at 2105 South State Street, Chicago, and sign up to arm wrestle a Windy City Roller! Win the tournament and you could go home with $100! The event kicks off at 7pm, and while you are hanging out with the skaters, you can enjoy some cocktails and the music of Crazy Rocket Fuel, an all girl rockabilly band.

The 2009 WFTDA Championship Tournament wrapped up on
Sunday evening and a new champion of the flat track was crowned, the Oly Rollers of Olympia, Washington. The championship bout was Oly vs. Texas and Oly came out victorious, 178-101.
Haven't heard of Oly? That's probably because they only played their first WFTDA sanctioned bout in January 2009, and their first bout against a "national contender" in March 2009.

OMG Rollergirl! Do you believe that Nationals are THIS WEEKEND! Hundreds of skaters and thousands of fans from all over the country (and some not even from this country) will be descending upon Philadelphia to watch the best women's flat track derby teams duke it out for the National title. Your beloved WCR All-Stars will be one of the 12 teams competing for the title, and as North Central Regional Champions, won't be in action until Saturday, as they get a first-round bye.

Rose City, eliminated in the Quarterfinals of the Western Regionals, may have hoped to slip in under the radar and catch the All-Stars focused forward on WFTDA Nationals next month.
