In an exciting Windy City Rollers season that made fans cling to their seats, The Fury proved their team unbreakable, to wrap up their undefeated run in 2013 with another championship victory and their fifth Ivy King Cup.

Recently, Jackie Daniels and Bloody Elle gave ESPN their take on facing Gotham Girls’ powerhouse Bonnie Thunders, while Tamikaze, Shelby Musting and SpartaKris talked derby with WGN Sports Night. Meanwhile, JohngysBeat.com caught up with Tamikaze, Bork Bork Bork, Jackie Daniels and Sunshine N Painbows on camera while Gapers Block went behind the mask with the WCR mascots.

4 years in derby-verse has brought Tamikaze from the Haymarket Rioters all the way up to her current status as veteran Manic Attacker and All Star.  She took a second to sit down with us to talk about juggling real life and derby life, favorite Manic Moments, and the quest for the championship ring.

With the crowd frothed up from the Second Wind/CN Power bout, the WCR All-Stars took the track against Montreal’s New Skids on the Block in a nail-biting win where the All-Stars won 249-211 at the UIC Pavilion on Saturday, March 30, 2013. Even though they won the ugliest uniform competition for the night, the New Skids were ready for battle against the WCR All-Stars and proved to hang tough through the entirety of the bout.

Friday night’s first bout on March 1, 2013, matched up the 2012 champion Manic Attackers against the Double Crossers, a team with a lot of new faces and new talent. The XX made their mark in January with determination and great teamwork, having closed out the preseason tournament with a sassy last minute victory against the Hell’s Belles. This weekend the Crossers showed their squad’s athleticism and growing potential, but they still had their hands full against the Ivy King Cup winners throughout the bout.
