The Hellions of Troy are a new team to the world of Roller Derby and could always use financial support towards uniforms, practice space, travel costs, paying other leagues to bout us, merchandise, marketing and so on. We own our team, do not have a manager; this is grass roots yo! We look to the local and national community for sponsorship towards these needs. This time, we are putting our derby love and energy towards helping one of our own injured skaters.

Fresh Meat, Chicken Mole came to one of our November recruitment nights at Rollarama and decided to join and become a roller derby chick. Her two young children also came along and entertained themselves on skates, and also entertained the team with their bravery on wheels and silly demeanor. She continued to practice with us and got very comfortable on skates in just a couple weeks. I was amazed at how fast she advanced her skills.

Roller Derby is a very aggressive sport and injuries do come with the territory. Showing off and taking photographs of black and blue bruises from ass cheeks to shoulders is a common practice with skaters; but it’s not so funny when bones break or ligaments tear. It is frustrating to sit out and watch the sport you want to play but you never lose support from your derby family. Chicken Mole had a bad collision on December 8th and felt like her ankle came unattached from her foot. EEEKS!! After a few Doctor visits she learned what the list of injuries are: her ankle shifted out of place, she has a broken fibula, and the tendons became disrupted. The doctor said two screws and a plate should fix it. After her December 15th surgery she’s suffered with a lot of pain and she’ll be out of work for awhile. An injury can also break your spirit so it’s important for us to be there for each other when we’re down and out.

Some Other injured Hellions are:
Yukon Kizmyas: Injured shoulder: Supraspinatus tendon tear, bicep tendon needs to be reattached, bone spurs on the acromion had to get scraped off. He went in for surgery December 1st and will be in recovery for awhile.
Detrimental Diva: Injured Knee from June 20th bout.
Mathundra Storm: Injured Knee from June 20th bout: Torn PCL.
Julietta Vendetta: Injured knee from years of roller derby injuries, had surgery in December.
Missy Misdemeanor Hellahit: sprained ankle, out for a couple weeks.
Scarbucks: continues to skate with knee injuries like bursitis.

The Winter Break Fundraiser is an awesome morale booster and we hope that not only will this raise Chicken Mole’s spirit; but will be a substantial financial contribution to her medical costs. The Roller Derby community steps up when the health care system isn’t supporting the people that need it! We wish her a speedy recovery and look forward to skating with the new RoboDerby woman. Our fundraiser also illustrates that there are many non skating men and women in the league that VOLUNTEER their love and time in bout production, fundraising, marketing and the many aspects of keeping a business successful. Come join us in the fun and get surrounded by great people and love. P4th is an awesome and steady bar owned by Art Fredette who has been a big support for local musicians. Come mingle with The Hellions of Troy; we look forward to coming together with our fans and loved ones and to meet new people! Come find out what derby love is all about.
