Quad City Chaos was hosted by Toronto Roller Derby March 31 – April 1st, with participating leagues Rideau Valley Roller Girls, Tri-City Roller Girls, Toronto Roller Derby, and of course your very own Hammer City Roller Girls!

With Hammer City’s restructure in full swing, the ladies went out on the track full of positive attitude, and came out learning a lot! Strategy was implemented, and new moves were broken out. We saw some huge hits from Oh! Henry #5150, great jamming by JJ Bladez #5, and big blocks by zoeDisco #911. Mean Little Mama #0 brought in lots of points, despite spending lots of time in the Sin Bin.

A HUGE thank you to Toronto Roller Derby for hosting this tournament! We look forward to playing with all participating leagues in the near future!
