We were informed around 6am that our practice facility, The SportsPlx, had burned down overnight. <a href="http://www.wktv.com/news/local/Blazing-fire-rips-through-building-in-South-Utica--139001914.html">Here is a link to some of the news coverage.</a> We are scrambling to wrap our heads around this disaster, but we wanted to get word out to our fans and friends that, most importantly, no one was inside the building when this happened and no injuries have been reported as a result. As always, a big thank you to the brave folks at the Utica Fire Department and Utica Police Department, many of whom have been league supporters, on making sure that this tragedy did not spread to neighboring buildings or injure any onlookers.<br /><span style="display: block;" id="formatbar_Buttons"><span onmouseover="ButtonHoverOn(this);" onmouseout="ButtonHoverOff(this);" onmouseup="" onmousedown="CheckFormatting(event);FormatbarButton('richeditorframe', this, 8);ButtonMouseDown(this);" class=" down" style="display: block;" id="formatbar_CreateLink" title="Link"><img src="http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif" alt="Link" class="gl_link" border="0" /></span></span><br />Our hearts are broken. We have been lusting after the SportsPlx as a practice venue since our founding in 2007, and just recently our dream came true and we were finally allowed to call it home after a long an stressful search for adequate winter practice space. Central location, pre-installed sports floor, and plenty of room. It was a dream come true and we had sincerely hoped to start the process of grant writing in order to purchase the property ourselves.<br /><br />Here's a before shot from the floor:<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhANVdsQ9h9TLvbHh_nahreQ7AkLOkvuIM9g9eo46naI9aXQNYPThLM_rhNOXrKERI5o6lnmuVTqy2r7h2qKdrxWihVSCShz_MvTqWl6c0yb4H19S00iGTNqJCKQqw7CIbAGfQbbbiupDUN/s1600/SportsPlx_pre.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhANVdsQ9h9TLvbHh_nahreQ7AkLOkvuIM9g9eo46naI9aXQNYPThLM_rhNOXrKERI5o6lnmuVTqy2r7h2qKdrxWihVSCShz_MvTqWl6c0yb4H19S00iGTNqJCKQqw7CIbAGfQbbbiupDUN/s400/SportsPlx_pre.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707186842175141618" border="0" /></a><br />And here are some 'after' shots taken minutes ago:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs2iRUYhGnOEyatn7RV3jcvwjv-X0jo5V_61ZlimQQEyElq8HmfR7UuUzIpke-mWThDYXGbXC7KzmJIgAevmodLB_ubZf-XUGwTyXZfSWl61yO9MFcmSse9Nv0uOeAhHeWzySiLte6FxbJ/s1600/2012-02-09_11-15-15_47.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs2iRUYhGnOEyatn7RV3jcvwjv-X0jo5V_61ZlimQQEyElq8HmfR7UuUzIpke-mWThDYXGbXC7KzmJIgAevmodLB_ubZf-XUGwTyXZfSWl61yO9MFcmSse9Nv0uOeAhHeWzySiLte6FxbJ/s400/2012-02-09_11-15-15_47.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707187088098907858" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyJQh9c30Ycxn4VlP5qD8ZyrCD4DS0MWRhlCCOr98KRAg_WrSVAZwDrlyEOQKJ3on8_6NOrA3IoK4fFVi7E3WME_KHlfPk-aHGkmOTkYzblCRwPX0EApYnLi1FIzKSEjfvUJz4tw8ZINlH/s1600/IMG954371.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyJQh9c30Ycxn4VlP5qD8ZyrCD4DS0MWRhlCCOr98KRAg_WrSVAZwDrlyEOQKJ3on8_6NOrA3IoK4fFVi7E3WME_KHlfPk-aHGkmOTkYzblCRwPX0EApYnLi1FIzKSEjfvUJz4tw8ZINlH/s320/IMG954371.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707188026544829186" border="0" /></a><br />Unfortunately, there was great loss in terms of property. The league(s) kept most of our belongings there for easy access at practice. We did not yet have insurance on these items. As we attempt to get together a comprehensive inventory, some of the big stuff included loaner skates and gear sets for 20+ people, the customized DerbySkinz helmet panties for nearly all of our teams, an EMT bag with a full supply of medical items, our custom made Scoretronics jam clock, all of our bout production supplies, our league's vinyl banners, most of our non-bout event supplies, at least one skater's entire gear kit, and we're sure there's more we're not thinking of yet. Thankfully our SkateCourt floor was not on-site.<br /><br />Our first priority is finding practice space. We are asking anyone in/around Utica that knows of a space available which is at least 100'X63' open span to contact us right away at info@cnyrollerderby.com or 315-313-4269 We have a specifications sheet we can send you to see if what we do will work in your space. The most immediate need is from now until early April when we can go back to our summer space in Rome, NY. But if we find somewhere which suits us a year round lease is always an option.<br />Offers are already coming in from our sister leagues for our skaters to share practices with them as we figure this out, and we appreciate it greatly. Please keep them coming if your league is within reasonable driving distance and will have us as guests, or if we could rent some time at the facility you use.<br /><br />Our second (although no less important) priority is to fund raise and recoup what we can from this tragedy. Donations of money, gear, anything, will go a long way.<br />You can use this donation button to donate directly via Paypal, or send manually to onlinesales@cnyrollerderby.com<br /><form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"><br /><input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick"><br /><input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="7JWNDJK6RLLLJ"><br /><input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!"><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"><br /></form><br /><br /><br />We will be undoubtedly organizing some fundraisers in the coming months, but we have one coming up on Feb 18th which we would very much appreciate your support for:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWFEeQqj_FoOkk61ZLSWm3Xg42S_qULpN3rxiElWGl0AdxDN2T0H7JThGNvbFlb36y26OwaW8mlxAPJ03u49pf9orbnw0U3FSz18tRUm6a2NEoAUGy4w2Zf2a_EFxrOyILx_AJq7J1MjRq/s1600/tonys.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 270px; height: 198px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWFEeQqj_FoOkk61ZLSWm3Xg42S_qULpN3rxiElWGl0AdxDN2T0H7JThGNvbFlb36y26OwaW8mlxAPJ03u49pf9orbnw0U3FSz18tRUm6a2NEoAUGy4w2Zf2a_EFxrOyILx_AJq7J1MjRq/s400/tonys.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707185806990647858" border="0" /></a><br /><br />If you would like to reach us by mail, please address to:<br />CNY Roller Derby<br />PO Box 8827<br />Utica NY 13505<br /><br />Again, thank you for your support in this difficult time.

Missing your favorite Central New York Roller Derby girls now that we are in the off-season? Then come to Oneonta on Friday, November 18th to watch the CNY Red Hots take on the Oneonta Derailing Darlings. The CNYRD Red Hots is a pick-up team of some of your favorite veterans from last season, transfers from other lea<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib2nzuaMKaE-I__9dg03D22Ld5-A4KQlR2HzkdjAXSD6idqvlwEnaQ-zn5GQPP_ZmMfPSlsuTj-97_EQW1UdwH6kVSEFN5a41s2YrRw5viRTdNa8Gi-8ltuJ8HV-wx0t7emHKjVN18CN2m/s1600/gobbler.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 193px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 155px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673774544592152098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib2nzuaMKaE-I__9dg03D22Ld5-A4KQlR2HzkdjAXSD6idqvlwEnaQ-zn5GQPP_ZmMfPSlsuTj-97_EQW1UdwH6kVSEFN5a41s2YrRw5viRTdNa8Gi-8ltuJ8HV-wx0t7emHKjVN18CN2m/s400/gobbler.JPG" /></a>gues, and many newbies fresh out of boot camp! This is your chance to watch up-and-coming players like Quicksey Trixie, Stella Overdrive, Kompact Risk, Major DisChord, Toe Tagger Body Bagger, Kell’s Fury, and Connie Vict make their CNYRD league debut!<br />This promises to be a fun bout. The Oneonta Derailing Darlings are a newer league, formed in 2010, and this is their home bout debut. You really don’t know what to expect with so many new skaters on both teams. Will there be more falls? More fouls? Will the teams be evenly matched? Who will be the star jammers? It’s anyone’s guess, and that’s why it’s worth the drive!<br />The bout will take place on Friday, November 18th at the Oneonta Derailing Darlings’ home at Interskate 88 (5185 State Highway 23, Oneonta, NY 13820). Doors open at 6:30 pm, and the bout begins at 7:15 pm. Tickets for children 12 and under are $3, and tickets for adults are $10. Bring in 2 canned goods for $1 off admission and the warm feeling that comes with knowing your donations will benefit the Family Service Association’s food baskets. Your ticket includes automatic entry into a door prize raffle, admittance to the open skate session after the bout, and drink specials at the after party. The after party will be at My Father’s Place (5690 Route 7, Oneonta, NY 13820).</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>You can RSVP via the Facebook event page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=293071017387296">HERE.</a></div>CNYRDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04946781138629989185noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436630696359516565.post-13878750435221096052011-10-17T05:46:00.000-07:002011-10-17T06:04:57.462-07:00Recruitment Night!!

We'll stay open until the food's nearly gone, so come on down and get some goodies!<br /><div>Prices range very inexpensive - from multiple items for $1 to the more 'gourmet' items that are $1-2 each. Come fill up a big tray for your office or just grab a snack on your way out and about.</div>There are usually multiple vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, and other specialty offerings. Items will be clearly marked for dietary restrictions.<br /><div></div>The bake sale benefits CNYRD as we go into our off season to help afford practice space and fees until April. Your support is highly appreciated and it all goes to help the league keep skating (plus you get yummy stuff to boot!)<br /><br /><div>Also, please support our loyal sponsors, Cafe Domenico (right next door- coffee, drinks, that cold glass of milk to go with all the cookies you're going to eat....), the Green Onion Pub (right across the street, full service bar with great atmosphere), and The Uptown Theater (also right across the street- great prices on new movies).<br /><br />We will also have league merchandise, such as t-shirts, stickers, keyrings, and lots of other league stuff for sale. We will also have the Tough Cookie Cookbooks for sale showing many of the recipes from past bake sales.<br /><br />There will be recruitment information available for all those looking to get into roller derby. We have a class starting THIS MONTH, so please feel free to come meet some of our members and talk about your plans to start skating!!<br /><br />So come for the bake sale, load up on goodies, sign up for our new skater class, buy a t-shirt, grab a coffee to prevent the food coma, see a matinee, and have a drink at the bar to round off the afternoon.

The Clubbers used high scoring jams to control the lead. In addition to Mean Squeak's 18, Pippi Hardknocking had a 17 point and Itty Bitty had a 15 point jam. The Betties didn't give up however and worked hard to make a comeback at the end of the game. They outscored the Clubbers 28-4 in the last eight jams, holding them scoreless for the last six.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom: .0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";font-family:";font-size:85%;" >Blocking throughout the entire bout was consistent as both teams did a great job</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";font-family:";font-size:85%;" > building walls and knock’n em down.

At this past weekend’s co-ed double header, the Quadfathers dominated against Albany’s mens roller derby team, Capital District Trauma Authority. Eager to avenge their loss from their last bout against CDTA in April, the Quadfathers enthusiastically blocked, checked, and scored their way to victory, with a final score of 121-62. The Quadfathers’ jammers for the evening included Peach #27, Wildstyle #215, Die-Lon #315, Ball Zach #29, Grambo #37, and Bobby Brady #8. Jamming for Capital District Trauma Authority were Jonny Malice #11, Roarshock #8i8, and Up End Atom #9090.</span></p><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-Times New Roman"font-family:";font-size:85%;" ><br />The bout started with Up End Atom on the jam line for CDTA and Die-Lon for the Quadfathers. Although Die-Lon broke through the pack quickly and was called lead jammer, by the 4<sup>th</sup> jam, CDTA was in the lead 2-11. Due to outstanding blocking from both teams, the score hadn’t changed much by the 7<sup>th</sup> jam, and was 3-11 with CDTA still in the lead. However, the Quadfathers slowly pulled ahead and after 10 minutes of game play, the Quadfathers obtained their first lead at 16-11. The Quadfathers maintained their lead throughout most of the first half, but the teams were tied at 2 minutes left in the half at 44-44. Capital District Trauma Authority quickly pulled into the lead, and at halftime the score was 44-49, leaving fans to bite their nails as the Clubbers and Betties warmed up.</span> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";font-family:";font-size:85%;" > The 2<sup>nd</sup> half began with renewed vigor and each team was clearly determined to win, but the Quadfathers quickly pulled ahead again, scoring points jam after jam until the score was 97-57 with 12 minutes left. Fans and skaters alike prayed for the best when Johnny Rebel took a spill and was assisted by EMTs off the track 5 minutes later with a makeshift cardboard splint on his leg. After another 7 minutes of game play, the Quadfathers had secured an almost-certain win at 106-62, barring the possibility of a power-jam or two. And triumph they did, with a final score of Quadfathers 121, Capital District Trauma Authority 62. Well-deserved MVP trophies went to Up End Atom of CDTA and Bobby Brady of the Quadfathers.</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisIqYpEhpRJagyk1OTexIkx7coXlpAdviaThhHQBEfdoTsCNSihI0iS5_P5yR1N2ICEHTIqJNzSHwIwstQE8aE88gEeqnlYFjDXstLvt2F9mFe4tmEcJn07bzCgNITWqdThOvJeZ_YXRvC/s1600/5995776563_0c8cbb6726.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisIqYpEhpRJagyk1OTexIkx7coXlpAdviaThhHQBEfdoTsCNSihI0iS5_P5yR1N2ICEHTIqJNzSHwIwstQE8aE88gEeqnlYFjDXstLvt2F9mFe4tmEcJn07bzCgNITWqdThOvJeZ_YXRvC/s400/5995776563_0c8cbb6726.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636603080924449218" border="0" /></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-Times New Roman"font-family:";font-size:85%;" >As always we owe everything to our fantastic refs, who keep our bouts safe and fair – huge thanks to Lizy Longshanks, The Constable, Otto A-Linement, Anne Persand, Reffin Aint Easy, Magnum Joe. and Miranda Wrights.

We are lucky enough to be hosting a full on New York vs Vermont battle royale with this bout, pitting the Central New York region against the Burlington, VT region.<br /><br />The first bout will kick off at 5:30pm with <a href="http://quadfathers.blogspot.com/">The Quadfathers</a> playing the <a href="http://burlingtonbombers.com/">Burlington Bomb Quads</a> in heavy hitting men's roller derby action. The Quadfathers are coming off a <a href="http://quadfathers.blogspot.com/2011/08/bout-recap-7302011-vs-capital-district.html">win against the Capital District Trauma Authority</a> , and also<a href="http://quadfathers.blogspot.com/2011/06/quadfathers-have-been-accepted-into.html"> recent acceptance into the Men's Roller Derby Association</a>, and are looking to keep their roll going. The Quadfathers and the Bomb Quads <a href="http://quadfathers.blogspot.com/2011/03/our-trip-to-vt.html">last met in Burlington in March for a closed door bout</a> in which the Quadfathers won 156-64.<br /><br />At or around 7:30pm The CNY All Stars will be competing against the <a href="http://www.gmderbydames.com/">Green Mountain Derby Dames' </a>Grade A Fancy who hail from Burlington, VT in a WFTDA sanctioned game. The CNY All Stars have had a great season so far with a record of 4-1. This game caps off a great inaugural season for the All-Stars travel team. According to <a href="http://www.flattrackstats.com/rankings/region/2">Flat Track Stats</a>, CNY is ranked #16 in the East region and Green Mountain is #23 currently. Dont let this stat fool you that this game is expected to be easy- When CNY and Green Mountain last met on <a href="http://cnyrollerderby.blogspot.com/2010/03/bout-recap-3132010-vs-green-mountain.html">March 13th 2010</a> in Essex Junction VT, Green Mountain dominated 102-43 against our then-travel-team the Utica Clubbers. CNY has come a long way since then however, and with a formal travel team, a ton of new talent, new coaching and a very different roster, this will not likely be a repeat of a near blowout.<br />Green Mountain is one of the newer WFTDA leagues accepted at the same time as CNYRD (late 2010), and has a very similar history, timeline, and size to CNYRD. This represents a very good match up in terms of league's available talent pool, region size, and ability. We are very excited to finally return the favor of hosting these ladies as we loved meeting and playing them last year.<br /><br />We might even be lucky enough to witness a mascot vs mascot crowd riling extravaganza as Green Mountain's <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GG.GMDD?sk=info">Gang Green</a> tries to outdo hometown hero and CNY All-Stars mascot <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Starface/163599893711476">Starface</a>!

You get double the exciting derby for the same normal ticket price.<br />Doors at JFK Arena in Rome NY will open at 4:30pm. Beat the crowd and get there early. The first 200 fans through the door gets bout programs and once they're gone, they're gone!<br />The first bout of the season pits <a href="http://www.quadfathers.com/">The Quadfathers Men's Roller Derby</a>, our brother league, against <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Capital-District-Trauma-Authority/184653401572993?ref=ts">Capital District Men's Roller Derby's 'Trauma Authority'</a>. Back on April 2nd the Trauma Authority pulled off an upset win over the Quadfathers to a great crowd at the Washington Ave Armory in Albany. The Quadfathers were favored going into the bout having more experience, but penalties and great teamwork by the newer Trauma Authority led them to an unexpected 110-77 win. Read the complete recap <a href="http://quadfathers.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html">here.</a><br />The Quadfathers were recently accepted as the 13th member league of the <a href="http://www.mensrollerderbyassociation.com/">Men's Roller Derby Association</a>, the official governing body for men's derby. This was a major step for the Quadfathers and we are so proud of them for being recognized as a solid organization in this sport where so many leagues and teams pop up and disappear so often.<br />Our hometown boys in orange are looking to take back ownership of the I-90 corridor with this bout. If you have never seen a men's roller derby bout in person, especially a rematch where pride is on the line, then you NEED to see this. If you've ever thought the hits in roller derby weren't big enough to entertain you, or hard enough to really hurt, then you havent watched these guys play. So come out early and help us cheer on the boys. They will have recruitment infomation available and new merchandise to sell (there's rumors of girls' cut 'Think Outside The Box' shirts!)<br />At or around 7:30, CNYRD again takes the track to bring you the 2011 Home Team Championship Game!!!!! In our first season of intra-league play, The Utica Clubbers, The Rome Wreckers, and The Blue Collar Betties have played their butts off to awesome crowds of loyal fans. The bout on July 2nd between the Rome Wreckers and Utica Clubbers decided who would play against the Blue Collar Betties for the championship. The Utica Clubbers came out on top and we are set up for a very hard fought battle to win the season title.<br />Captained by Lady Die Mentia #3, and bench coached by Sinful Pleasures (who played most of the season but was sidelined by a broken ankle recently), The Utica Clubbers stand 3-2 for the season so far. Noteable Clubbers' stats for the season include rookie standout Itty Bitty Bastard #410 leading the entire league with the highest points per jam average at 5.05; also of note is veteran skater Mean Squeak #27, who has outscored opposing jammers by 73 points this season.<br />Captained by Slay West #13 and bench coached by TOM-A-HAWK #1225 of The Quadfathers, The Blue Collar Betties have been the stand out success story of the season- originally having lost a number of skaters to injury and various leaves of absence, there was worry that the roster would be short. But with the addition of a few newer skaters, they have dominated the season so far with a record of 4-1. Noteable Betties stats for the season include veteran Pied Viper #333 as the leading scorer in the league with a 200 point total for the season and also having outscored opposing jammers by 74 points overall going into the championship game.<br />When these two teams first met on April 30th, the Betties had a clean win with a 118-92 score. In the space of the month of May, the Clubbers picked up their game considerably, and when these two teams met for the second time on May 31st, the Betties narrowly squeaked by a 1 point win 92-91, which came down to the last jam.<br />Its anyone's guess how this championship will turn out, but what we do know is this is going to be a very evenly matched and very competitive game!<br />DJ'ing the double header will be All-Stars mascot <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Starface/163599893711476">Starface</a>!!!<br />Announcing the men's bout will be our good friends from Troy, Eloda Sarcasm and Ida Feltersnatch<br />Announcing the women's bout will be Rebel Without A Pulse and Blackjack<br /><strong></strong><br /><strong>Advance sale tickets for $8 each can be purchase at:</strong><br />The Tramontane Cafe (Lincoln Ave, Utica)<br />Cafe Domenico (Genessee St, Utica)<br />Bill's Variety Store (Thomas St, Rome)<br />Black River Ale House (Black Rvr Blvd, Rome)<br />OR you can always buy $8 presale tickets from your favorite CNY Roller Derby skater, just ask!!<br />Online advance sale tickets can be purchased for $8 plus a $1 service fee through tickerderby.com <a href="http://www.ticketderby.com/event/cnyrd-home-team-championships-quadfathers-vs-capital-district-men-id-5725">HERE</a>.<br />Tickets will be available at the door for $10 each. $1 of each door ticket goes to our 2011 non-profit partner, The Arc Oneida-Lewis.

It was a truly phenomenal game as skaters saturated the air with competitiveness and calculated strategy with a final score of CNY 195 Rideau 117. </div><br /><br /><br /><div>A neck and neck start to the evening’s events left spectators on the edge of their seats and by the third jam with a score of CNY 3 Rideau 6 it was anybodies game. CNY’s jammers for the evening Gutshot #56-89, Mean Squeak #27, Pied Viper #333, Slay West #13, and Spin Spin Sugar #230 obtained lead jammer status time and time again to widen the scoring margin. An especially outstanding performance on the part of Rideau jammer Soul Rekker #55 with total 45 points for the evening and CNY’s Spin Spin Sugar #230 whom accrued a whopping 95 points! Their efforts did not go unnoticed as they were both awarded MVP for the evening.<br /><br />Throughout the night blocking intensified with some spectacular hits and consistent defense. Some familiar faces in CNY’s line up had fantastic enthusiasm: Curry Plowdher #117, Anita Grenade #79, Mia Malicious #16, Hot Cakes #42 and Moody Obsession #5150 were all crushing the Canadian visitors. By the 11th jam as the score was CNY 32 RVRG 28. CNY pulled ahead towards the end of the first half. By the half CNY was up 77 to 39.<br /><br />A halftime show kept the night rolling with J. Charlz, Magician extraordinaire and his lovely All Star assistants Pippi Hardknocking #2 and Little Bastard #5.<br /><br />The second half kept the intensity going as hits were harder, skaters were faster and penalties were given out like free popsicles on a hot day! Sin Bin Queens for the night were Moody Obsession #5150 and Pied Vipre #333 of CNY with 5 trips to the box each and Semi Precious, ASSASSINista and Soul Rekker of Rideau each with 6 trips to the box.<br /><br />Sure enough the CNY All Star mascot STAR FACE was there to keep the crowd entertained by throwing out fishnets and Swedish Fish and his usual outrageous gesturing. CNY would like to send out a big thank you to all the volunteers that make our bouts possible and safe, to the medical staff, who were a great help (roller derby is rarely injury free,) DJ Deaf Geoff for keeping our night sounding sweet and to all Refs and NSOs for making our games safe and fair. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>We would also like to send a special thanks to Ida Feltersnatch for teaming up with CNY's own Blackjack as our guest announcer for this bout, which was a milestone for her (her 50th bout announcing!). Not only did she announce Saturday night, but got up at the crack of dawn Sunday morning and ran the 5k Boilermaker!!!

Rideau Valley is an <a href="http://wftda.com/apprentice-program">apprentice league of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association</a>, well on their way to full membership. We are happy to host our sisters from the north, and this promises to be a very challenging game for both teams.<br />The CNY All-Stars have come out strong in the 2011 season with new members, new coaching, and as full WFTDA members. So far they are 5-1 this season, after a very close loss to higher ranked and more experienced Queen City Roller Girls on June 18th. The CNY All-Stars are currently ranked by <a href="http://www.flattrackstats.com/rankings/region/2">Flat Track Stats</a> as #16 in the Eastern region. The match up of these two teams will be a mystery until the bout starts, as the two have not shared the track with any of the same teams in their 2010 or 2011 seasons to use as comparison.<br /><br />We will also have haltime entertainment by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JCharlzmagic?sk=info">J Charlz Magic</a>.<br />Our special guests for this event are the Utica LGBTQ Youth Group and facilitators, sponsored by Aids Community Resources.<br /><br /><br />Advance sale tickets can be purchased online <a href="http://www.ticketderby.com/event/the-fishnet-frenzy-cny-allstars-vs-rideau-valley-vixens-id-5701">HERE</a> for $8 plus a $1 service charge<br /><br />Advance sale bout tickets are always available at the following locations for $8-<br />Cafe Domenico (Genessee St, Utica)<br />The Tramontane Cafe (Lincoln Ave, Utica)<br />Bill's Variety Store (W.

On 4/30, these two teams played a public bout (The Icebreaker) which was the 2011 debut of the BCB's and saw the Clubbers coming off a win against the Rome Wreckers at the first friends and family event on 4/9. The BCB's <a href="http://cnyrollerderby.blogspot.com/2011/05/4302011-bout-recap-icebreaker.html">won that bout</a> 118-92, and are definitely looking to hold onto their winning record, while the Clubbers are clearly looking to avenge the loss.CNYRDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04946781138629989185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436630696359516565.post-72628391898359573712011-05-26T08:03:00.001-07:002011-05-26T09:00:05.002-07:00New Commercial!!CNYRD is excited to present to you our first formal video commercial.

There are a lot of stats to back up the idea that roller derby is a great way to bring an economic boost to smaller cities. It would be great if more areas in NY got on the train:<br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.uticaod.com/guest/x1495159851/Guest-view-Roller-derby-could-be-economic-stimulus">http://www.uticaod.com/guest/x1495159851/Guest-view-Roller-derby-could-be-economic-stimulus</a><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div>CNYRDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04946781138629989185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436630696359516565.post-14335304507803087012011-05-20T14:59:00.000-07:002011-05-20T15:59:36.390-07:00Our New Floor.....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHq7LE02rw4pqCoFvYZxbuQgomFP3I_cSiritRyiXK65sjix6AorAhw7BMULwPTZtT3Z2HiwrKXc0MVqZm-7FSreeSpnbGErZPHATCxN5ASqjDjhIvIMmg7UpT99BfqaWprs-Uk-ijDiU9/s1600/SkateCourt.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 121px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608928269587588018" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHq7LE02rw4pqCoFvYZxbuQgomFP3I_cSiritRyiXK65sjix6AorAhw7BMULwPTZtT3Z2HiwrKXc0MVqZm-7FSreeSpnbGErZPHATCxN5ASqjDjhIvIMmg7UpT99BfqaWprs-Uk-ijDiU9/s400/SkateCourt.JPG" /></a><br />Any team or visiting skater that has skated with us at either of our seasonal practice spaces can tell you, our floors are far from great for roller derby. In recent winters, we have been on a traditional wood gym floor. As (bad) luck would have it, a very slick gym floor. In the summers, we are blessed to have JFK Arena in Rome which has a beautiful, flat, polished concrete floor. Depending on the weather, some days it is downright grippy, but the majority of the time its not.<br /><br />The start of this season has been particularly slick, and we've tried everything under the sun to correct it. If there's a floor treatment, we've tried it, and with very small success. So far, the 'Traction' product sold by derby suppliers has worked best, but it's not enough.<br /><br />So after saving, and members' hard work, and cutting costs, and putting our heads together with the lovely <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001974760399&sk=info">Randi Maehym</a>, North America's (well, and a bunch of other places) rep for SkateCourt by IceCourt flooring systems, we've made a big move: Today we put the down payment on our own SkateCourt floor!!!!<br /><br />We went small this time around, going with 6,468 sq ft, the bare minimum for a complete track and a 5' ref lane/crash zone. It's going to be quite the sight: A patchwork of 7 or so different colors done up derby style!<br /><br />If you're not familiar with why exactly SkateCourt is the way to go for a derby floor (and trust us, it IS!), you should definitely check out their information <a href="http://www.icecourt.com/portable_skating_surface.html">here</a>. Also, drop Randi a friend request on facebook using the link above for any questions you might have. The whole crew at SkateCourt has been SO amazingly helpful to us in this whole process, and we want to send a big derby THANK YOU to them.<br /><br />We also cant say all of this without major thanks:<br />This entire move is made possible by all of the amazing skaters, refs, NSO's volunteers, sponsors, supporters, and fans of CNYRD. All of those dues paid, those tickets sold, those long hours working merch tables at events, the sponsorships donated- this represents part of the sweet payoff! We will be given the opportunity to up our game in such a big way as a result of this purchase, increase safety for our skaters, and give our fans an all around better experience.<br /><br />Please check back soon for pictures of laying the new floor, and also for an upcoming fundraising drive to add to our floor. We LOVE what the <a href="http://www.ithacarollerderby.com/">Ithaca League of Women Rollers</a> has done with their<a href="http://ithacarollerderby.heroku.com/"> tile drive floor fundraiser</a> , and we plan to do something similar here in CNY to help us with more flooring and to also showcase our loyal supporters beyond sponsors who are willing to give a few bucks to help us out and show their support.<br /><br />WE'RE SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!
