The end of February is bringing together two bouts on the same night - the main event has some of my favourite players in Toronto including Land Shark and Brim Stone, wearing hot pants and hot pink uniforms while playing with CN Power. The first match has the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (D-VAS, it took me awhile but I picked up the diva part) (I also think they were in one of those Kill Bill movies) against a Sudbury team.

I have just started to hear about the Deadly Vipers so I had to do some in-depth research. Apparently they are rookies that enjoy the roller derby and lingerie, long walks in the park and taking it fast. That and crushing some skulls!
This is what ToRD has to say about the night.
Toronto Roller Derby is proud to announce a special double-header event, Saturday Feburary 26th.
At our season opener, 700+ roller derby fans braved a snowstorm to watch the Gore-Gore Rollergirls take on the Death Track Dolls. On February 26th, Toronto Roller Derby is pleased to announce a special double-header event! First, Toronto rookies the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (D-VAS) square off against Sudbury’s Nickel City Roller Derby. Followed by our main event: Toronto Roller Derby’s all-star travel team CN Power take on the Killamazoo Derby Darlins!
As Toronto Roller Derby’s farm team, the D-VAS are made up of new rollergirls and draft hopefuls for the 2012 season. Led by co-captains Skinned-Knee Crosby and Tammunition, the DVAS offer a glimpse into Toronto’s future superstars. On the other side of the coin, CN Power represents the strongest and most skilled players Toronto Roller Derby has to offer. Led by co-captains Brim Stone and Lady Scorcher, our girls in pink have a solid reputation for making Toronto proud of our homegrown talent.
Doors open at 5:00 pm with the first bout starting at 6:00. Tickets can be purchased in advance from our ticket outlets for $12, online for $14, or at the door for $18. Children aged 9 and under are welcome without charge. Bring blankets and folding chairs for trackside seating, or find a spot on the bleachers surrounding the track.
