Our February featured skater is so sweet, she’s Butterscream! In just one year with DJRD, she has improved tremendously as both a blocker and a jammer. We’re excited to have her on our roster this year because Butters is no treat for anyone who gets in her way! What made you start derby? I began roller derby on somewhat of an impulse, it always seemed like a cool sport but…

Ronnie B. Feisty – January Featured Skater Her name says it all: Ronnie B. Feisty, our January featured skater, never backs down no matter what life throws at her. Feisty has been part of the roller derby community for more than a decade and she is currently training to pass her minimum skills test. We can’t wait for her to join us on the track! What made you start derby?…

Clare has been an invaluable member of DJRD since the beginning. She’s always willing to share her knowledge, or lend a helping hand! Now that’s she an adult, we’re thrilled to share the track with her. Her incredible derby skills – especially those powerhouse hits! – have made her a great addition to the team, and that’s why she’s our December featured skater!   What made you start derby? My…

Move over Meghan Markle, there’s a new duchess in town. Our November featured skater may be a class act on and off the track, but watch out: There’s nothing ladylike about her hits!   What made you start derby? After each seeing an ad in the local paper about an upcoming bout, my husband and I coincidentally emailed each other about going. Watching the game, I knew immediately it was…

We’re starting off the fall with this month’s featured skater, Jacked Up. Sneaky fast and with footwork so fancy she’s broken TWO pairs of skates, Jacked Up is not a skater you want to mess with! What made you start derby? I always wanted to try derby when I was younger but never had the time or opportunity. I kept seeing this group of kick ass chicks practicing every Thursday…

Our July skater of the month is none other than Rebel Elle! A recent addition to the DJRD roster, she is dedicated, hard-working and always has great team spirit.  She is truly an “idol” – on and off the track!     What made you start derby? A friend of mine (Thunder) asked me if I played sports when I was younger and if I would be interested in playing roller…

August is heating up with this month’s featured skater! Raven Rage is full of power on and off the track!   What made you start derby? A guy who I was playing roller hockey with was a roller derby referee. He said to me hey if you like playing roller hockey I have a sport I think you’re going to like and threw me a couple of free tickets to…

This fresh meat skater has made some GREAT strides over the past few months. We can’t wait to take the track with this skater who is always making us laugh! Check out our June Featured Skater  – Joy Z Devil!  What made you start derby? I had always been interested, but life got in the way. After moving, I drove past the Kendall Park rink every day to/from work and finally decided…

Our May Featured Skater is certainly springing this Spring with the longest legs on the team. Six Feet Thunder, or Thunder, is just about to cross her first derbyversary, and we have loved having her as a Dirty!    What made you start derby?   I’ve wanted to play derby as long as I’ve known about it, like the past 8 or 9 years, but I didn’t know of any…
