    She has been killing it in all her jobs and then stepping up to be president. Wow! We are lucky to have her on the league. What an inspiring person all around.
    Her growth as a skater since coming to Jet has been by leaps and bounds. She a real go getter, a positive force on and off the track.
    Kat has really brought an amazing energy and passion for derby to Jet City. She has been working tirelessly to improve this league as well as her skills on the track. She’s got a great attitude and is a ton of fun to be around!
    She jumped in with both feet!!! Love this lady and her heart!! She bleeds blue!
    Because AWESOME, duh. She showed up, stepped up, and stepped into to some much needed and amazing roles. Love her on and off the track, she is a huge asset to this league and we are lucky to have her. The work she has done with the DEA (now Ground Crew) has been amazing, that is such an important job and she is wonderful. I know she is going to rock it as our new BOD prez too.
    She’s such a dedicated skater, hard worker and one of my most favorite people in the world <3.

    She’s a pain in the ass most… All of the time. But she wrangles out of town visitors and already has most of our season ready to roll as far as matchup’s. I give her one star for attitude but five stars for getting shit done.
    She’s aw-ight. Lol
    Her interleague prowess and connections are beyond compare. Her organization is impeccable and she is the funniest person I know. Well deserved, Tai!! Love you!!
    Cause she the shit
    heShe is amazing and helpful. She is organized and has helped us work within the derby community. shit
    She works really hard and she is organized!
    She’s like a terrier shaking the shit out a rat when she needs people to get stuff done. Her big mouth has saved me on and off the track. The relationships she is building with other teams will make for a very successful season for us.
    Plus, her embellishing keeps the refs’ eyes on her and not on my forearms.
    She’s such a hardworker, super organized and has our season almost all set up!

  • Exciting Changes Ahead After 11 Seasons of Jet City Roller Derby

    Exciting Changes Ahead After 11 Seasons of Jet City Roller Derby

    Jet City Roller Derby is unveiling a new name, and new teams on January 20th , as they move towards a strong future in local sports.

    Snohomish County, WA: Jet City Roller Derby is launching its 2018 season with big changes.

    On Saturday, January 20, 2018, 6:00 p.m. at Seaview Gymnasium in (Edmonds, WA), Jet City Roller
    Derby will present, for the first time, a new look in a new, restructured league. The league, now
    consisting of 3 new teams, the Bombers, the Aviators, and the Skyraiders, will make their debut starting
    at 6:00 when the first whistle blows for this action-packed double-header.

    After ten years of familiar team names, (Camaro Harem, CarnEvil, Hula Honeys, and Pink Pistols) Jet City
    is moving to a new look and a new focus of play. Instead of intra-league bouts, these new teams:
    Bombers, the Aviators, and the Skyraiders will expand their range of opponents and bring in teams from
    across the NW, and beyond. This new style of competition aims to increase the competition level of
    roller derby and showcase to fans the high caliber of roller derby in this region.

    January 20 th will be the first opportunity to meet these new teams. This bout features the Jet City
    Bombers vs. the visiting Palouse River Rollers of Eastern Washington.

    The Bombers, Jet City’s highest competitive-level team, plays in the WFTDA (Women&#39;s Flat Track Derby
    Association) and competes against ranked teams throughout the year for a shot at the International
    Championships (Nov. 2018).  Over 400 teams comprise the WFTDA who battle it out for the title of best
    roller derby team in the world.

    The second bout of the night will feature the Aviators vs. the Skyraiders; Jet City’s newly formulated
    teams that have been created out of the skaters from Jet City’s former home teams (CarnEvil, Pink
    Pistols, Hula Honeys and Camaro Harem).

    “We are excited for all these changes and how we can improve the skater and fan experience” says
    Christina “Teeny Bopper” Congdon, board president.

    About Jet City Roller Derby: Jet City’s vision is to be the ultimate destination for competitive roller
    derby in Washington State; leading the growth of the sport by providing training, promoting athleticism,
    and building community for athletes, officials, fans and volunteers. www.jetcityrollerderby.com

  • Bavarian Bruisefest: Orange Domination

    Bavarian Bruisefest: Orange Domination

    Bavarian Bruisefest

    Leavenworth ~ January 13-14, 2018

    The Camaro Harem headed east to the snowy town of Leavenworth to compete in the Fourth Annual Bavarian Bruisefest. This bracketed double elimination tournament pitted 12 teams from the Northwest and Canada against each other in a series of 30 minute bouts, with a full 60 minute championship bout Sunday night.

    The Harem, seeded at #2, started their weekend with a bout against the Spokannibals on Saturday. The hard-hitting Spokane team came out swinging but ended up being no contenders for the Harem, who took the victory 124-48.

    Sunday morning the Harem faced Avalanche City from Fernie, BC in a nail biter where the lead changed often and the Canadians kept the Harem on their toes. Leading by 10 coming in to the last jam, Avalanche was able to hold off the attacking Harem and won the bout 88-82.

    Finding themselves in the losing bracket, the Harem’s next opponent was the Spokane Sass of Lilac City Roller Derby. The Sass were having a great weekend until they met the Harem, who doubled up on the Sass during their 30 minute battle. The final score Harem wins 103-47.

    With the win, the Harem matched up next with Overbeater’s Anonymous (OBA) who were champions of last year’s Bruisefest and were the #1 seed of the tournament. The Harem fought through the very physical ‘Beaters and with smart and strategic play were able to defeat the reigning champs in the 30 minute bout 96-35.

    After a quick break the Harem got back on the track to take on the Gorge Rollergirls. These two teams faced off a year ago in the Dalles with the Harem taking the win and a fun time had by all. The Harem hit their stride in this bout with strong defense and a deep jammer rotation. The Harem took the semi-final game, winning 126-42 and prepared to play in the Championship game against the undefeated Avalanche City.

    With only a 30 minute break, the Championship game started at 6:00 and the Harem had to muster every bit of orange power they had as the fresh-legged team from Canada got to work. A strategic time out called by the Harem coaches during the game helped the Harem catch their breath as the scoreboard showed a 54-54 tie game. The 30 second time out proved to be just the thing the Harem needed as the Harem’s solid defense began smothering the Avalanche blockers and jammers. The Harem offense was on-point as well, opening holes for their jammers to run up the score. By the time the dust settled, the Harem took the win with a final score of 215-122.

    Bombshell received the Blocker MVP trophy for the tournament and the Harem got the Golden Nutcracker Trophy.

    We’d like to thank all the teams, officials, Apple City and CHICKEN for an amazing weekend.
    OPP!
