Hammer City Roller Girls

For the 6th year in a row, HCRG put their best game of bowler derby forward for the Big Brothers Big Sisters Bowl for Kids Sake. The two teams, the Hammer City Roller Girls and the Hammer City Roller Bowlers raised nearly $2400.
The ladies in black and yellow brought home the award for Team Spirit, and our very own Naughty Bee won the award for worst bowler. Womp womp – you’ll strike it next year, Naughy!
Thank you to all of our family, friends, and fans who donated to the Bowl-a-thon.

The Hammer City Roller Girls with you health and happiness during the holidays! We’ve worked hard this year, and can’t wait to sit back and celebrate 2012 rolling in.

For the 5th year in a row, we adopted a family for the St. Matthew’s House Adopt-a-Family program. We would like to thank all of those who supported our Craft and Bake Sale at the December 9th Artcrawl on James St N. We were able to give our family the greatest holiday gift of all… Love! (and lots of it!)

Some of our skaters helped spread holiday cheer at the Kitestring Christmas Spectacular on December 16th. The very successful charitable event raised money for the Hamilton not-for-profit Culture for Kids in the Arts. Were you lucky enough to see your favourite skaters sing their smash hit “Derby Girls are Comming to Town?”

We bake and we skate. We whip and we stitch. We give hits and we give back. And we thank you for all your generousity in helping us spread derby love this season.

Have a safe and happy holiday! See you on the track in the new year!

The Hammer City Roller Girls will be rolling into Kitestring’s 3rd Annual Christmas Spectacular on December 16, 2011. The proceeds from the evening will be given to the Hamilton not-for-profit called Culture for Kids in the Arts. An organization that is dedicated to making arts programming available to all local children.

Your Hammer City Roller Girls will take centre stage at the *SOLD OUT pageant! Our skaters have multiple talents – watch us sing, dance, and skate at the Spectacular. We’ll be there for Hamilton’s biggest candy buffet ever at the 7:00pm kickoff, at the Hamilton Consvatory for the Arts (126 James St S). Our friends at Gorrilla Cheese will be serving up snacks and prizes at 9:00pm.

The after-party starts at 9:30pm. Tickets are $5 at the door, featuring Sweet Ice Snow Cones and $5 drink specials all night. Live rockabilly music by The Greasemarks. Bring your dancing shoes!

The Hammer City Roller Girls are busy — knitting, beading, painting & pasting! During the James St N Art Crawl on December 9th, we’ll be rolling out a Holiday Craft & Bake Sale.

Derby girls are baking and crafting everything, and the proceeds are going to the St. Matthew’s House Adopt-a-Family program.

We’ll be setting up shop outside three locations along the Crawl route:
- This Ain’t Hollywood (345 James St. North)
- Hammer City Records (228 James St. North @ Rear)
- Outside the Lighthouse Fish Market (219 James St. North)

Come and load up on awesome gifts, hot chocolate and delicious baked treats — the perfect sugar rush before hitting the next gallery. We’ll have organic, vegan, raw, and gluten-free options for everyone.

Smackie O is feverishly knitting, Naughty Bee has a needle and thread in hand, and Hammerhead is already planning to make the world’s best vegan holiday cupcake.

We skate AND bake. We whip AND stitch.We give hits AND give back. Help us support families this holiday season. See you December 9th!

Ahoy Hammer City landlubbers!

Raise your sails and set course to the Hamilton waterfront on September 11 at 2pm for an outdoor roller derby event that will send you overboard with excitement. For the first and only time this season, the Hammer City Roller Girls (HCRG) will bout against each other, in an all-pirate, no-holds-barred, battle of the buccaneers you don’t want to miss. Who will you raise a grog to? The fearsome Blackbeard Booty or the fast and sassy Jackie Red Sparrows? Both teams will feature a mix of HCRG’s veteran and newer skaters so you know it’s going to be a ruthless plunder for skating supremacy by the sea.

HCRG christened Hamilton Waterfront Trust’s skate pad last summer with a hotly contested intra-league bout, and are thrilled to be back as part of a historical maritime weekend that also features the appearance of the most-traveled tall ship in history, the Pride of Baltimore II.
