Charm City Roller Girls

Charm City Roller Girls is made up of four intramural teams and two intermural teams that have played all over the world. They're the best of the best! Roller Derby has changed since the films of the 1950's-1970's: more athletic than shtick/pro-wrestling. Still, the players dream up risque stage names for themselves and their teams. Fun hairdos and lots of ink are the norm. The teams are skater-owned and managed. The food sold at bouts is often made by skaters' loved ones. Their posters are created by local artists and look fabulous framed. Charm City Roller Girls recently lost their skate venue in Canton — which they had really outgrown, anyway — and are playing for now at the Ice Gardens in suburban Laurel.
