I'm nuts just ask anybody.

The wait is almost over, Saturday night,the Windy City Rollers will take the floor at the UIC Pavilion at 6:00 for their opening bout.  Tickets are available at the door or through Ticketmaster.  


If you are like many of us remembering roller derby in vague memories of raised tracks and Sunday morning television programs come and see just what the modern sport has turned into.  Real athletes, rules and fun, the perfect cure for a stressful week of work.

Just to get everyone in the derby mood, here are a few highlights from last season.

The penalty box, unlike their hockey counterparts these girls feel no shame.

The girls come around the curves at 25 miles an hour, that's race horse speed.

Contact at high speed hurts!
