You're living my dream of skating.
We only have the ladies skating in my area. I tried to qualify as a ref but wasn't good enough. I did tear up my shoulder trying though.
I'm 50+ and want to skate just one lap on a banked track before I bit the big one.
Keep us up on you and your team. I'm sure there are many more of us out there rooting fo you and wishing it was one of us out there with or against you at the matches.

Yes, back in the early 70s there sure was a lot of live derby action going on in the Northeast. The one thing I enjoyed about those Warrior telecasts was the announcing of Elmer Anderson...he had a great sense of humor. I moved to the L.A. area in the summer of 74 and immediately started going to T-Bird games. The very first game I attended featured the SF Bay Bombers as the visiting club and Joan Weston and Ann Calvello were teammates! In that game they seemed to relish being on the same side and just combined their talents to beat up on the T-Bird women. Calvello was just flying around the short, steep track at the Olympic Auditorium.
What did you think of Roller Jam? I don't care for inline skating, but it was fun to watch Little Richard for at least the time they had him skating. When they put him on the infield as a manager that took the fun out of it. Interesting how in the beginning of that show they tried to play it serious and even had Buddy Jr. giving color analysis of plays. But alas they fell prey to the need to script the action and bring in the soap opera stories to spice things up at the expense of good skating action.
