Roller Derby Girls : "Some men like 'em quiet, some men like 'em shy, but give me a girl with some bruises on her butt and that killer look in her eye." - Uncle Leon and the Alibis. That’s how Sylvie Hill announced that Roller Derby Comes to Ottawa in her May 17, 2007 article in the Ottawa XPress. She went on to say “Forget cheerleaders and tennis belles. Roller derby girls are mean machines who combine athletics with sexiness and edge - it's an explosive mix that's been entertaining spectators worldwide since the 1930s.” Thanks to "Honey Bee" McAlear, the Bytown Blackhearts became the original women’s roller derby team in Ottawa. In 2008 Honey Bee started the Capital Carnage team of the Ottawa Roller Derby league. While Honey says being a Carnage girl means taking part in one of the fastest, toughest, most kick-ass sports going, her goal is to bring roller skating back to Canada as a leisure activity.

Established in 2009, the Slaughter Daughters are the founding team of the new Rideau Valley Roller Girls (RVRG) league. They describe themselves as girls who live and breathe derby purely for the love of the sport and as being the biggest, baddest, bunch of broads to ever skate on quads. Check out their website for their bout schedule and learn more about the charities they support. http://www.rideauvalleyrollergirls.com or email rideauvalleyrollers@gmail.com
