Hey, y’all. It’s time for the CTRG Scholarship for Women Athletes again!

Deadline is May 1, 2013. Application form and printable flyers available at the website!

Please share!

The CT RollerGirls are raising money to send their WFTDA charter team to Spring Roll in May!  We’re sending a 16-person roster and two of our twenty* coaches all the way to Indiana to (hopefully) kick some butt and take some names at this 3-day tournament.  Give some love and you can get all kinds of stuff in return.  Plus!  CTRG is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, so a portion of your donation is tax deductible!  Help a derby girl out!

*maybe it just seems like twenty

Well you can still see all the action here!  CTRG was represented in all 3 scrimmages - see if you can spot your favorite skaters!  

Scrimmages 1 and 2 were composed of teams of B and C team skaters from all over the region (New York!  Massachusetts!  Rhode Island!  And of course all three Connecticut leagues!), and scrimmage 3 features coed teams of WFTDA travel team skaters and some of the many handsome dudes of MRDA!

Thanks so much to Shoreline Roller Derby for putting this on and letting us co-host - it was a blast, and (even better) the derby community raised five thousand actual dollars for the United Way Sandy Hook Support Fund!

Shoreline Roller Derby and the CT Rollergirls are teaming up Saturday for a coed scrimmage to benefit Sandy Hook Elementary. Connecticut roller derby: kicking butts for a good cause!

What a night!  LIRR took the win over the Yankee Brutals with a final score of 322-53, and in home team action, the Bone Crushers bested the Widowmakers in another last jam nailbiter (150-146), clinching their spot in our November 10th championship doubleheader!  Thanks to all the fans and superfans who came out, and superextradoubleturbo thanks to Monkey Brains and Sabatage Sabal, visiting skaters from HARD, who busted their humps all night for the Widowmakers!

Friday the 26th, come skate with a rollergirl at Roller Magic (60 Harvester Road) in Waterbury!  We’ll be there from 8-10, and you should be too!  $6.50 gets you in the door, skate rental is extra.

November 3, we’re hosting a fundraiser at Orange Ale House!  From 6-10, for a slim $8 you get dinner and the company of the scariest rollergirls Connecticut has to offer!  We’ll have cupcakes, raffle tickets, and a host of prizes.  See you there!

Have you ever wondered how we practice?  November 8, CTRG is hosting an open practice, and you’re invited!  

Can you believe it’s bout week already? Get your pregame on, and join us tomorrow night at Moe’s in New Haven for a night of burritos, fundraising, and more burritos!  

Then the main event!  Saturday the Yankee Brutals will take on the LIRR Rock-a-Betty Bruisers (say that three times fast!) and in home team action, the Widowmakers will face off with the Bone Crushers to decide who will be joining the Iron Angels in the 2012 CTRG home team chapmionship bout (that’s happening November 10 - mark your calendars!).  Can you even stand it?  As if the bout wasn’t excitement enough, we’ll be collecting paper goods for Master’s Table of Ansonia.  Plus, kids can trick-or-treat at our awesome vendors and enter CTRG’s (first annual?) costume contest!  A little tip from me to you: any kid dressed up like a hot dog is pretty much guaranteed to win the whole thing.  See you there!

Saturday, CTRG will be at Milford Boys & Girls Club’s Pumpkins on the Pier!  You’ve seen us rough up girls on the track, now see the damage we can do to innocent pumpkins. CTRG and the Death Quads will be doing a skating demo at 1pm, and Krazy Legz Nikki will represent in the pumpkin pie eating contest at 4pm. You’ll want front row seats for all the pumpkin action.

Do you have your tickets for our October 20th double-header yet?  Why not?  Seriously, what’s wrong with you?  We all know you’re just going to spend the night gnawing on a block of cheese and sitting around in your underpants, so why not do that at CSC with us?!  We’ll be collecting paper goods (napkins, paper plates and cups, and plastic cutlery) for Master’s Table of Ansonia AND don’t forget to get your costumes ready - we’ll be having a halftime Halloween contest for the kids, and they can even trick-or treat at our vendor tables - fun for the whole family!

And next Friday the 19th, pre-game with CTRG at Moe’s Southwest Grill at 46 Whitney Avenue in New Haven!  Moe’s will be donating a percentage of sales from 5-9PM to CTRG, so come support your favorite rollergirls (and their favorite food group: burritos) as they carb up the night before the game!

Did you know that you can follow CTRG on Instagram?  Neither did we!  Find us at ctrollergirls (surprise, surprise) - if you ever wanted a peep behind the scenes of CTRG, now’s your chance.

Last but never least, good luck to the handsomest dudes in derby (I mean probably - who knows really?  Now that I think about it, Quadzilla’s kind of a dish), the Connecticut Death Quads who take on the Rollin’ Regulators this Sunday at Rollermagic in Waterbury.  CTRG and Shoreline Roller Derby will be facing off with mixed teams in a 30-minute opener - don’t miss it!

Do you have your tickets to our October 20 yet?

Sunday our brothers from another mother, the Connecticut Death Quads, take on the Rollin’ Regulators, who are hauling themselves all the way from Delaware for some rockem sockem men’s derby action.  Bonus: CTRG takes on Shoreline Roller Derby in a 30-minute expo before the main event!  Check out the event page for details!

Monday, come spin with a rollergirl at goGreen Fitness in Orange.  We’ll be pedaling our hearts out at the 5:45 class - see you there!
