GIMMIE YOUR ALL TIME TEAM!

Okay, this is my first discussion thread on rollergames so I thought I would ask the current and past fans and players who they would pick for their all time team. Here's the criteria:

Seven men, seven women. (This is going by 5 on 5 with 2 alternates per squad.)

For an all girl all time team, (optional,) 4 jammers and 6 blockers will suffice.

Any and all eras count and yes, you can mix present day rollergirls with the old school on any ladies team you choose.

Managers are optional.

With that, I'll get the ball rolling with my all time team. (Based on 22 years of watching tv games, videos, youtube and the very odd live bout.) Enjoy!

MEN:

Ronnie Rains: IMO, the greatest men's skater of all time.

Harold Jackson: As close as you will ever get to Rains.

Bernie Jackson: Easily the greatest blocker ever and a pretty solid jammer in his prime.

Charlie O' Connell: The DEAN of roller derby in his prime and even at the end of the line a great blocker.

Mark D'Amato: Ronnie Rains Lite. Nuff Said.

ALTERNATES:
Ralphie Valladarez and Danny Riley

WOMEN:

Joanie Weston: No introduction needed at all.

Ann Calvello: See Joanie

Chola: The greatest rollergirl of the modern era. Chola is pretty much the face of the sport right now and by far the best jammer in the game over the last decade.

Sister Mary Jane: The best 2 way player in TXRD history and at 6'3" the most dangerous female blocker the sport has ever known.

Patsy Delgado: Possibly the last truely great T-Bird and IMO, the ladies' MVP in the 1989 Rollergames season.

ALTERNATES: Stephanie Garcia and Honey Sanchez

Honorable mentions: Vicky Steppe, Gwen Miller, Mike Flaningam, and the entire skating Atkinson family.

Hey Mike,

Don't worry, you can choose whoever you want, it's wide open. (Some choices will likely overlap but that's cool too.) I'm looking forward to your choices!

Your probably right with Anne Calvello and Joane Weston >>> though I hav'bt seen them play >>> but i would rather go with the Rollerjam girls >>> Denise Loden, Amy Craig, Heather Gunnin >>> instead of the rollergames/rollergirls >>> all the rollerjam girls were national speed skating champs

I find it pretty hard to believe that the silicone boobed "Bod Squad" were ever legit skaters.

It's incredibly hard to only pick 7 and 7 from all eras. There are so many others that belong on the list. lol
