Whether you’ve been a roller derby fan for a decade, or are someone who is just hearing about it now, there is one thing that you need to know about this community… Roller derby parties are crazy!

This was more than evident at the HCRG year end party – PIRATES versus NINJAS. Every one of your favourite derby girls was there, dressed up and ready for combat. Whether they were looking for your bounty, or swinging nunchuks – they were ready to party! As in typical HCRG fashion, this party was held at This Ain’t Hollywood, on January 7th, 2011. As it turned out, a lot of the public was not prepared for what they might see on their regular Saturday night out with their friends.

The night started off friendly enough, sushi for the ninjas and pulled pork for the pirates, on opposite sides of the room of course. But soon it broke out into a full on ninja versus pirate battle! It seems to me like the ninjas won… but I may just be bias on that one. Although, there was one event that the pirates dominated in: The PvN limbo contest, with pirate Jewsy Flawless coming out on top!

Awards were given out to refs, vets and rookies alike to celebrate the many victories HCRG has achieved within the last year, both on and off the track. To end the night, our very own Hot Carl, presented an incredible display of fireworks for us… as you would expect during a Canadian winter, this caused quite a stir with the locals. But it was absolutely wonderful regardless!

If you’re going to take anything away from this story, let it be your new found love and admiration of derby parties, and make it your new mission to come out to an after-party soon!

The Hammer City Roller Girls with you health and happiness during the holidays! We’ve worked hard this year, and can’t wait to sit back and celebrate 2012 rolling in.

For the 5th year in a row, we adopted a family for the St. Matthew’s House Adopt-a-Family program. We would like to thank all of those who supported our Craft and Bake Sale at the December 9th Artcrawl on James St N. We were able to give our family the greatest holiday gift of all… Love! (and lots of it!)

Some of our skaters helped spread holiday cheer at the Kitestring Christmas Spectacular on December 16th. The very successful charitable event raised money for the Hamilton not-for-profit Culture for Kids in the Arts. Were you lucky enough to see your favourite skaters sing their smash hit “Derby Girls are Comming to Town?”

We bake and we skate. We whip and we stitch. We give hits and we give back. And we thank you for all your generousity in helping us spread derby love this season.

Have a safe and happy holiday! See you on the track in the new year!

The Hammer City Roller Girls will be rolling into Kitestring’s 3rd Annual Christmas Spectacular on December 16, 2011. The proceeds from the evening will be given to the Hamilton not-for-profit called Culture for Kids in the Arts. An organization that is dedicated to making arts programming available to all local children.

Your Hammer City Roller Girls will take centre stage at the *SOLD OUT pageant! Our skaters have multiple talents – watch us sing, dance, and skate at the Spectacular. We’ll be there for Hamilton’s biggest candy buffet ever at the 7:00pm kickoff, at the Hamilton Consvatory for the Arts (126 James St S). Our friends at Gorrilla Cheese will be serving up snacks and prizes at 9:00pm.

The after-party starts at 9:30pm. Tickets are $5 at the door, featuring Sweet Ice Snow Cones and $5 drink specials all night. Live rockabilly music by The Greasemarks. Bring your dancing shoes!
