Last year, after the loss of Barbalicious, Jet City created the Heart Of The League award as a way to honor her memory and recognize those skaters that continue her legacy. Barb’s wonderful personality, dedication, and hard work helped make Jet what it is today.
We are so proud to announce the recipient of the first Heart Of The League is Angelica Della Morte! Here is what her fellow leaguemates had to say about this inimitable human!

“Angelica is amazing and fun-loving, she works so hard, and I truly believe that she is one of the main reasons that this league has been able to stay afloat for so long.”
“…is hands down the best person I have ever known. She devotes her heart to anyone in need, her league, community, and friends.”
“…truly is the heart of the league. I don’t know if I could ever vote for anyone else, for this award…ever. She is an inspiration to the rest of the league, and I look up to her. I can’t imagine Jet without her sense of humor and her strong work ethic.”
“Her amazing attitude on the track no matter what may be going on is simultaneously energizing and calming. She can always be counted on, whether you need a fresh perspective, an insane weather report, a little shrimp, or a shoulder to cry on.”

Her amazing witchy vibe and genuine passion for the people and things around her make it a joy to know her. Her dedication to obtaining knowledge and hard work on the track is an inspiration! She’s funny as fuck also. 😉
• Recently, Shutter’s been doing a kickass job on keeping up the bout hype with her Twitter posts. But even before then, Shutter has always been the person you want to be around, because no matter what you’re feeling during a practice, she’s going to tell you you’re a badass, and you can’t help but feel like a badass.

• Taking back the Treasurer job is a huge load to carry. Razor has been in the position for several years now, never being able to successfully pass off the job. We owe her more thanks than couldn’t possibly be given because without her we wouldn’t have a running league right now. The amount of stress that comes with a financial job can be overwhelming- so thank you, Razor, for sticking it out for us all these years. You’re really a saint.
• because she kicks ass on and off the track. She is a skater with amazing skills and she has great skills for the BOD as well.
• Where do I begin?! Saving our asses with finance stuff and liquor licenses. Doing more behind the scenes stuff for this league that people probly don’t know about for MANY YEARS. Going above & beyond for Jet so many times. This lady is amazing!
• She cracks herself up! She cracks me up! She is probably on crack….and steroids! 😉

• Kickin ass on the track and off with taking on the Treasurer job
