The ladies of Tri City were amazing hosts, and great derby players!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The winds of change are moving through the Betties for 2012. Long time Betties players Lacy Brawler and Pretty Peeved have retired from the team, as have P Doddy and Diva Zapata. We will miss them, and wish them well. Although they won't be on the flat track, expect to see them in blue in the crowds on game day, cheering on the Betties! New players will be drafted to the team from the D-VAS on October 15th to fill our roster and compliment the team skillset. Buliding on the foundation laid by Hot Roller over the years, new Betties captains Misery Mae and titmouse will lead the team through the upcoming season. Expect good things to come for 2012!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.torontorollerderby.com/images/posters/2011/01OCT2011.jpg" width="400"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You don't have to wait until the new year to see us play next though! On Saturday October 1st, we will face the Hammer City Harlots in our new home, &lt;a href="http://www.torontorollerderby.com/venue.php"&gt;The Bunker&lt;/a&gt;, just down the street from the Hangar. Doors open at 5pm, with the Betties hitting the track at 6pm. Following this bout will be CN Power vs. the Hammer City Eh! Team; two bouts for the price of one!

Then, in the second period, Dyna Hurtcha got kicked out while she was wearing the star for brawling on the track with Mia Culprit. In the end, I am happy to report that Hot Roller is ok (she just had extreme whiplash) and will be returning to the track for the championship. As for Dyna, it turns out that she wasn't really physically attacking Mia Culprit and the expulsion call was a misunderstanding... rather she was trying to get herself untangled from Mia's legs and skates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway... WE ARE IN THE CHAMIONSHIPS and we are going to KICK your ass if you don't come! We are taking that boot and there is no way to stop us...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had the Thames Fatales (FCRG) out to practice with us yesterday and we learned some awesome tricks that will most certainly piss off some Gories. Thames play in Kitchener on November 7th... so check 'em out! http://www.forestcityderbygirls.com/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then... come see us kick some Gore-Gore ass!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;Miss. Behaviour&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. At the top of this post is the wicked poster Adam Swinbourne made us for the last game... and stay tuned for a new Swinbourne poster for the championships.

Our training started with a bang when Poison Thorn; one of our newest and most talented skaters, broke her leg. The break may have taken her off the track, but it hasn't broken her spirits as she continues to heal and her bones become stronger than ever before. Look out for her later this season as she will surely return to the track with a &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;vengeance&lt;/span&gt; and a thirst for victory. Until then, check out this &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;hottie&lt;/span&gt; sitting bench side, cheering on her &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Betties&lt;/span&gt; and giving the glare of death to our opponents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a couple more bumps in the road, we headed to the Beast of the East with our shiny blue shorts and prepared to meet the meanest teams of Montreal. We played the best of the best and took on the Slaughter Daughters (our very own Slaughter Lauder scored a grand slam during this match screaming "Mama's Home!"), The Death Row Dames and Les &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Contribanditas&lt;/span&gt;....twice! &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CkkYLuCm4V4/SgC_Fee1jfI/AAAAAAAAAAc/hxrnWq_BufU/s1600-h/Betties+take+Third.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 247px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332472059609320946" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CkkYLuCm4V4/SgC_Fee1jfI/AAAAAAAAAAc/hxrnWq_BufU/s320/Betties+take+Third.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;After two days of blood, bruises and hard hits, the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Betties&lt;/span&gt; took home third place. Smoke That!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that we're back in the big smoke, things are still on fire! &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Dickless&lt;/span&gt; Tracy and Lady Frost decided that their derby days weren't done and re-joined our pack after seeing our hunger for victory in Montreal. We also managed to snag the hot and dangerous Pretty Peeved, formerly of the Bay Street Bruisers, and Crimson Shivers from Calgary. Now we have ginger power times three (Crimson, &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Marvel&lt;/span&gt; S Maven, and Slaughter are all smoking hot red heads)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As if we didn't already hit the jackpot with our new skaters, we manged to pick up three new additions that will surely join us in our quest of kicking ass! We're not going to reveal their &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;identities&lt;/span&gt; at this time for fear that the other teams might drop out of the competition once they realize that they're gonna get smoked!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CkkYLuCm4V4/SgC6vU4QMnI/AAAAAAAAAAU/VVhgw80Qrjw/s1600-h/photo+by+susan+moss.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 134px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332467281027936882" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CkkYLuCm4V4/SgC6vU4QMnI/AAAAAAAAAAU/VVhgw80Qrjw/s200/photo+by+susan+moss.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay tuned for our game schedule which will be made public in a few days...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We'll see you in the stands... until then....

We are banking for that boot this year and to help us get to the Championship, we've added some hot new talent to our roster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poison Thorn is a hot little firecracker who is ready to smoke the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;opponent&lt;/span&gt; with her super-human speed and show-stopping good looks. Watch out for her this year as she jams her way into your hearts!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Janice the Menace is sure to cause some chaos on the track, and she'll break your heart just as easily as she breaks bodies. Check her out this year, she'll be the one in black and Betty blue, hitting down the opposing &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;jammer&lt;/span&gt; and speeding through the pack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kerry (who's derby alias is not being revealed at this time due to Smoke City Betty security risks) is one of the best skaters that the Big Smoke has seen in this century. You wont need to know her derby name as you'll know it's her jamming when the other team is crying. She's a smoking hot red headed amazon who has the other teams shaking in their skate boots.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WARNING to opposing teams: We're not the same &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Betties&lt;/span&gt; that you once knew.

This past year, it was my&lt;br /&gt;pleasure to attend yet another &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 204);"&gt;Smoke City Betties fundraiser at&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 204);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 204);"&gt;Hurricanes Roadhouse&lt;/span&gt;.  Now as many of you might already know, these&lt;br /&gt;evenings tend to start early, and go late with a whole evening of&lt;br /&gt;Party time in between.  And since I now have a "grown UP" job I am not&lt;br /&gt;much of a partier anymore.  Though every time these nights happen be it a Thursday, Tuesday or Saturday, I am there is full force singing my brains out and steadily becoming more off key as the night goes on - as most people who have seen me - well, they know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That fateful evening there began an auction raising money for our&lt;br /&gt;beloved Betties, and I wanted the grand prize, and so did my brother,&lt;br /&gt;and so did some guy...  while the bids grew higher and the bar grew&lt;br /&gt;louder. I started putting in phone bids for my brother in Fergus who&lt;br /&gt;is a huge rocks fan!  Did I say huge?  Yeah, there was a time when my&lt;br /&gt;brother wanted to go pro and play for the rocks.... though as you can&lt;br /&gt;see by the photos, not the toughest looking guy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FTpjl-rhCMY/SOd-2JROMJI/AAAAAAAAAAU/3GqvUNxNnIA/s1600-h/DSC01153.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FTpjl-rhCMY/SOd-2JROMJI/AAAAAAAAAAU/3GqvUNxNnIA/s400/DSC01153.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253306959017160850" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow, while bidding my brother got more and more excited about sitting with me - and screaming and drinking beer.  Which is what a couple of townies - such as we - often do.  Finally after yelling out my final bid,the bar went silent, understanding that this Victory was by far the greatest of the evening.  We had won, he was excited, I was excited, we were yelling and drinking beer already.  What a great family bonding experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I went to claim my prize it was clear that we had chosen a night that would live on in infamy forever.  I bought a hat, 2 shirts (one for me, one for my brother) and we were going to promote the Betties. You can see by the photos that we were decked to the nines in SCB colours, and we yelled loud and drank beer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a great night, thanks Betties, we'll see you at the next fundraiser.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa (&amp;amp; her screaming brother)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1657691172719271183-671850194790164164?l=smokecitybetties.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smokecitybetties.blogspot.com/feeds/671850194790164164/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1657691172719271183&amp;postID=671850194790164164' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657691172719271183/posts/default/671850194790164164'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657691172719271183/posts/default/671850194790164164'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smokecitybetties.blogspot.com/2008/10/message-from-our-fans.html' title='Message from our Fans!'/><author><name>Lady Frost</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FTpjl-rhCMY/SOd-2JROMJI/AAAAAAAAAAU/3GqvUNxNnIA/s72-c/DSC01153.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657691172719271183.post-4802017108765498653</id><published>2008-09-16T22:57:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2008-09-22T00:25:09.811-04:00</updated><title type='text'>A Funny Little Thing Called Derby</title><content type='html'>We were smoking cigarettes and killing time outside George Bell Arena, about to face the leopard print-clad and faux blood-smeared defending champions, the Gore-Gore Rollergirls.   Apart from the usual mixture of butterflies and impatience that I tend to feel before each bout, it struck me how curiously calm I was.  Gone was the panic of last season, when everything was new and I was wearing skates from 1972.  After two years of practice, politics, and pre-game nausea, had I become jaded?  Was this inexplicable calm a case of ennui or the mark of experience?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s hard to retain the sort of giddy of excitement I felt as a new skater.  When you’re just starting out, it’s all about meeting new people, learning new skills, and being part of something big and seriously cool.  Whenever I’m stuck at a party and there‘s an uncomfortable lull in conversation, I bring up derby.  Everyone is interested, and everyone loves derby.  Men want to know if it's fake (it's not), and women want to kick ass and sign up.  It’s an instant conversation starter that allows me to seamlessly slip out of my shy-girl-that-couldn’t-think-of-anything-to-say reality and into my fearless rollergirl persona.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps my fear of being derby-weary is more burnout than apathy.  After a disappointing first bout, it looked like the Betties might have fallen victim to a kind of sophomore slump.  The result of a sleepy off season turned out to be a team that was just not gelling.  It was a tough lesson, but we came back and improved in a way that surprised even ourselves.  The results of the first bout and the last, both against the Gories, could not have been more different:  we got a cataclysmic smackdown in the first, and we had them running scared in the last.  At one point, we were just eight points behind and they were looking tired.  We thought we might win.  Even now, just thinking about it, I feel simultaneously excited, determined, and frustrated.  It’s that mixed-up hungry feeling one gets when they want to win, and they want to win bad.  Anyone who feels passionate about something knows that feeling well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Betties have worked hard all summer.  Getting from point A to B in four months, from being pure chaos on the track to becoming an organized Bettie Blue derby machine, took hard work and sacrifice.  The mysterious calm most of us felt before our final face-off with the Gore-Gores was not indifference, but the result of knowing that we had done all we could do to prepare for this final showdown.  We were ready.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the 2008 season now over, and what the Betties have decided will be a rigorous off season in the near future, I look forward to seeing the dozens of Fresh Meat come out to practice, clamouring to be a part of our league.  Their fresh-faced enthusiasm and spotless attendance records serve as a potent reminder of how lucky we are to already be part of this funny little thing called derby.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1657691172719271183-4802017108765498653?l=smokecitybetties.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smokecitybetties.blogspot.com/feeds/4802017108765498653/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1657691172719271183&amp;postID=4802017108765498653' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657691172719271183/posts/default/4802017108765498653'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1657691172719271183/posts/default/4802017108765498653'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smokecitybetties.blogspot.com/2008/09/funny-lil-thing-called-derby.html' title='A Funny Little Thing Called Derby'/><author><name>#77  Ay Caramba!!!!!</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657691172719271183.post-8947398372590792013</id><published>2008-07-29T20:04:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-29T20:11:34.838-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Haha!</title><content type='html'>Oops!

Our super powers were in full force as our &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;jammers&lt;/span&gt; tore up the track and our blockers demonstrated their super human strength.... the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Betties&lt;/span&gt; were a force to be reckoned with. Slaughter Lauder, Memphis Kitty and the legendary &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Jewl&lt;/span&gt; Kicker proved their jamming abilities by leaving their opponents eating the smoke of their skates, and wafting in clouds of dust and fear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The season left us &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Betties&lt;/span&gt; with a taste of victory on our tongues and pride in our hearts, yet the winter came and it proved to be a cold one. Two of the finest skaters in all of Toronto; Lucky Lauder (pivot, and superhero &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;extraordinaire&lt;/span&gt;) and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Emrock&lt;/span&gt; (co-captain,  &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;jammer&lt;/span&gt;, and one of the fastest skaters on this side of the galaxy) decided to leave the sport in search of other adventures.  The rest of us &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Betties&lt;/span&gt; were left to seek out new super human skaters to add to our roster and take into our family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sue Deuce, Municipal Waster and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;MsTree&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;Malteaser&lt;/span&gt; are the three newest members of our pack. Everyday, with the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;guidance&lt;/span&gt; and help of the founding members of the Smoke City &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;Betties&lt;/span&gt;, their powers grow and their speed increases. Sue's eyes glow a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;fiery&lt;/span&gt; red when she concentrates on the enemy, and she can almost take anyone out of the game with a single glance. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;Waster's&lt;/span&gt; strength has increased to the point where she can throw her opponent off of the track with minimal effort, barely making full contact, and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;Malteaser&lt;/span&gt; is on her way to becoming one of the best &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;jammers&lt;/span&gt; in Toronto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure it can be a little hectic adding new people to the pack dynamic; and all teams have their ups and downs.... but we skate in a pack now and are all up to the same speed. Sometimes it takes a few bumps on the track to re-align the wheels... like when we underestimated the skills of the Gore Gore &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;Rollergirls&lt;/span&gt;; the dead cabaret performers in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"&gt;leopard&lt;/span&gt; print &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22"&gt;polyester&lt;/span&gt;. That was a tough break for the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23"&gt;Betties&lt;/span&gt;. While we were hanging at the clubhouse during the winter, they were in roller derby speed training mode. As they got faster on that track, the Gores could feel our  shock and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24"&gt;amazement&lt;/span&gt; and began to feed off our super powers, leaving us low on energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We came back to the track to face off with the Death Track Dolls. Their team grew in numbers and in strength and we had an absolute blast playing a team that was almost as equal in skill and defense to us &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25"&gt;Betties&lt;/span&gt;. Alas, the game ended up as a tie; the first ever tie in Toronto Roller Derby history! Unfortunately, the penalties we accumulated by tapping in to our super human abilities left us short players in the overtime jam and we ended up short three points to the Death Track Dolls. Dyna &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26"&gt;Hurtcha&lt;/span&gt; even got &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27"&gt;ejected&lt;/span&gt; from the game for being too powerful  and letting her strength overpower her mind...... it happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29"&gt;Tomorrow&lt;/span&gt; we take on the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30"&gt;Dvas&lt;/span&gt; who also have a pretty good team this year, even though they lost many players to secret service &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31"&gt;assassination&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32"&gt;reassignment&lt;/span&gt; across the globe. Despite the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33"&gt;Dvas&lt;/span&gt; strong defense and new found speed, we have a secret weapon against them; Goldie Lock &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34"&gt;N'Load&lt;/span&gt;. Goldie used to be a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_35"&gt;Dva&lt;/span&gt;, but after &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_36"&gt;realizing&lt;/span&gt; she could tap into a source of unexplainable strength, she decided to join up with the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_37"&gt;Betties&lt;/span&gt; and fight the good fight (with the better team). Goldie is thirsty for some &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_38"&gt;Dva&lt;/span&gt; blood, and these &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_39"&gt;assassins&lt;/span&gt; will be black and blue after the B&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_40"&gt;etties&lt;/span&gt; skate over them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll be sure to keep you posted.... until then......
