Announcing Winter’s Skater of the Quarter:

Ivana Hercha!

This is what the league had to say:

She is always there with valuable feedback, tons of knowledge to share, and versatility of being able to do whatever helps out the team, for example reffing, coaching, NSO, skating, or being an official. She is a role model I look up to.

Thank you for all your work on the venue issue—yet again! You are truly a superstar and this work effort was huge!

For dealing with our concerns over our “sisters to the south” and maintaining a great relationship with our bout venue.

Ivana is AWESOME! 😀 😀 😀

Thanks for all the work with the venue and solving those issues!

Thank you, Ivana, for being such an awesome part of this league!

Announcing Summer’s Skater of the Quarter:

Hurricane MyAmy!

This is what the league had to say:

Huge thank you for getting the girls on the run group to partner with us. As well as a kick ass liquor sponsor! So cool!!

I appreciate all her hard work getting our liquor sponsor for both the bouts and our Auction!

Girls on the Run and that yummy booze!

She has been doing badass things!

She has done great work with coordinating events and such. She is great to skate with. I love her positivity.

She nailed it with that booze sponsor.

Thanks for your diligent work for Community Cares. Your work is really getting our name out there and showing people we care. On and off the track you are a great asset to Jet City!

Excellent work for the league!

For her amazing work with sponsorship

She got us whiskey

She’s been working so hard on volunteering for this league while also making huge improvements on the track. Plus, traveling for works and still making time for us whenever possible.

Amy’s work with Girls On The Run is a tremendous benefit to the league. I love that she’s still a part of us all the way from Yakima, and I can always count on hard work AND a smile on the track!

Killin’ it with the GOTR connection & liquor sponsor!

Announcing Summer’s Derby Hero of the Quarter:

KAREN!

This is what the league had to say:

This person is not just there to help with Security at all of our games but they are at all of our scrimmages as a NSO and most don’t know this but they are on our alternative list for NSO for those same games. They are my secret weapon and I also know that I can trust them to tell me the truth if I ask them a question.

Karen is SO DEDICATED to Jet City. She’s basically the boss of the penalty box, and without her unique measuring system we would never know how high to stack the floor tiles on bout day.

Karen is always there for us in a million ways be it officially volunteering or moral support. She’s a pretty amazing person to have be part of our league and I’m so thankful for her!

She is always there for us, and dealing with our crap. 🙂

Karen is always there for Jet. Whether it’s running the penalty box, at league events and fundraisers or being our boss security person. She rocks and is amazing.

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.”
