Toronto has the honour of hosting the first ever World Cup, sponsored by Blood & Thunder Magazine, which is from December 1 to 4, 2011. It is currently scheduled to include 12 other teams from nations that are also assembling teams for the event: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, England, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, Sweden and the USA. In case you are not able to attend, live coverage of this historic event will be available through the Derby News Network (DNN). But if you can make it, make sure you drop by to support our incredibly growing sport. Some day, you’ll be able to tell your grandchildren about the time you were at the very first Roller Derby World Cup ;)

Witness local Roller Derby history on September 17, when Edmonton’s original team, Oil City Derby Girls, defends their title as holders of the Wildrose Cup, as they take on Edmonton’s other league, E-Ville Roller Derby. It’s a game you won’t want to miss, and will get you primed for December ;) Ticket information available at www.oilcityderbygirls.ca.

Much derby love <3
