"Buy, Sell, Kill" with the Wall Street Traitors
this Saturday, September 3rd

 

The Long Island Roller Rebels host the second Empire Skate Showdown, where nine New York teams will skate it out all day long to determine the state's top squad.  Last year it was Gotham's Wall Street Traitors -- can they repeat as champs?

Did you enjoy watching New York's men, the New York Shock Exchange, at our August triple-header? The NYSE kicks the day off with a full-length bout between its own league's skaters. 

 

Get your tickets now to witness the action live at Skate Safe America (Old Bethpage, NY).

Gotham v Jersey Shore - Cancelled

Hurricane Irene blows away August 27th double-header

Regrettably, Hurricane Irene forced the cancellation of our scheduled double-header in Asbury Park against the Jersey Shore Roller Girls.

We hope to get back to Asbury Park soon, and send our condolences to the countless east coasters affected by the weather disruption.
