Season Preview: Season Seven begins now
Monday, May 10, 2010
It’s time for the Season Seven news. Let’s begin with the retirements. The following players will be stepping back next season (we call it ‘going Class C’):
Atomic Bombshells:
- Flora Flipabitch
- Mae Gusta
- Misfit Maiden
- Shady O’Dread
Dagger Dolls:
- Buffy the Vampire Skater
- Miss Fire
- Shiv and Let Die
- Sweet Justice
Garda Belts:
- Little Tornado
- Rolls Wilder
Rockits:
- Dudezilla
Referees:
- Rocky Whorer
- Glam Slam
But we’ve got a few players who will be rejoining from years past. Soylent Mean returns to her beloved Rockits, while savvy track veteran CleoSPLATra will don the orange and green for the Atomic Bombshells.
But there’s more, MNRG fans! We have another transfer from out of our league to announce: in addition to the Garda Belts’ excellent import from Jet City (Beth Anne Destruction), we are happy to tell you that jammer/pivot Juke Boxx has joined us from the Dairyland Dolls of Madison, WI.
We last saw Juke Boxx at the Brawl of America as she and the Double-Ds fought their way to second in North-Central regionals. Since she joined us after the finals, she will be drafted like any new recruit in August…but in the meantime, Juke has been added to the All-Star team for 2010 regionals in Green Bay.
Speaking of the All-Stars? Want to see them this summer as they gear up for the push to regionals? Keep your eyes here for all of the details, but here’s the schedule for the next several travel bouts. Attached to each name is their current WFTDA ranking - by comparison, we are currently ranked 7th in the Northern region:
5/22 Pike’s Peak (11th place in the West)
5/23 Fort Collins (closed scrimmage with a new Western team)
6/19 Paper Valley (WFTDA apprentice league)
6/26 East Coast Derby Extravaganza tournament: Tampa (7th place in the South)
6/27 East Coast Derby Extravaganza tournament: Providence (7th place in the East)
8/21 Sacramento (9th in the West)
Whether via Facebook, our Twitter feed (@MNRG), the MNRG news blog http://fourtheskate.blogspot.com, or the MNRG website, you can keep track of all of the news about how our travel team, the MNRG All-Stars, progress through the summer.
We’ve got more news. Your All-Stars already had their very first bout of the 2010 season against a young team from Wisconsin, the La Crosse Skating Sirens. We defeated them 288-33 and, to our fans that have followed us over the years, that may not be surprising. The La Crosse team played their hearts out, but they do not yet have the experience to take control of the track like our All-Stars do. They still were playing woman-to-woman defense…and though their hits were hard, they didn’t yet have the ability to bypass the monster packs that our squad builds each and every jam.
What’s most fantastic about this result is that we had the opportunity to see some of newest All-Stars have a chance to don our uniforms. Cassie Rolle, Patently Offensive, Killaman Jaro, Jocelyn D’Jewels, Anita Spankston, and Skullateral Damage - all All-Star rookies - played many, many jams against our friends across the border and helped give us the win. Congratulations to them all.
Finally…the last news of the night. New captains and all of the last-minute transfers. Four players switched colors last week, and we want to give you the official word on it all. This is running a bit long, we know, so let’s leave you with this. Fans…thank you so much for supporting us this year. We cannot wait for the new season to begin.
Captains for the 2010-2011 season:
Atomic Bombshells:
Venus Thightrap
Diamond Rough
Dagger Dolls:
Psycho Novia
Wonderbroad
Garda Belts:
Citizen Pain
Anita Spankston
Rockits:
Scarmen Hellectra
Pain Gretzky
Referees:
Umpire Strikes Back
Wernher von Bombed
Transfers:
Patently Offensive transfers from the Dagger Dolls to the Rockits.
Hanna Belle Lector, Angelfire, and Tiki Torture transfer from the Garda Belts to the Dagger Dolls.
See you in October.
