My League is New
We are a banked track league without a banked track. We are a group of over 70 women who all joined this league within 6 months of each other. We have varying skating abilities and bring massive talents to our committee tables. We are a brood of strong personalities who are jockeying for dominance.

We skate, we plan, we scrimmage, we fund raise and occasionally we drink. Okay, more than occasionally.
