GRANDE PRAIRIE- The Grande Prairie Roller Derby Association (GPRDA) will be welcoming a junior team in January 2019. From January to June, the organization will provide a trial team for ages eight to 15. If there is enough support, the team would start back up after summer break in September 2019. “This is a great way for youth to get a taste of the sport of roller derby. They will learn sportsmanship, skill-building, and more,” said Kristina MacNeil, Co-coach for the jr. team. The senior team continues to thrive as they will be heading to Wetaskiwin for a league game on October 28. The GPRD ..read more

Our team is still sizzling with excitement after a very successful event in our home city. Crash Royale was short benched, short staffed, and short NSO'd but it goes to show, a little spirit goes a long way.  I think the best thing about the weekend was that EVERYONE had a piece of the pie. We had Jaded and Hacksaw on goodie bags, Head Huntress on music, CatASStrophe on vendors, and so on! It was a total team effort. We have big plans for 2018/2019 - first practice back is September 9 and for the first time in a long time, we have a full roster. We will be allowing new skaters on Sund ..read more

It has been a WILD May and the busy vibes are not stopping. We were able to skate a few times at the Crosslink County Sportsplex and it was AWESOME. We can't say enough about how great this facility is. Now that we have had a taste of this gem, you know we will be spending more time in this building next year! Watch for that! Congratulations to our rookie, 12 Gauge Dollface, for playing her FIRST game this month in Killam. She kicked butt and looked GREAT doing it (pictured below). Hacksaw also played in Killam on May 26 and JAMMED. For those who know our coach, you know she doesn't do jamm ..read more

A huge thank you to Coxy Roller and her beautiful team for letting a few of the GPRDA RadLeak Rollers play with them over the weekend. Hacksaw, aROARa, Iron Eden, CatASStrophe, and TNTina played with the Whitecourt Roller Derby Association Hot Rollers in Roller Mayhem in Peace River.  Two hard fought games against the Grim Reapers and KillBillies! One big supportive team! If you were ever thinking about playing as a pick-up player, do it. Not only is it a great way to spread your derby social circle, you learn a lot too. Seeing how other teams work their lines, work together, and seein ..read more

The RadLeak Rollers played hard against the KillBillies over the weekened in Fort St John. As it was their B team, the Grande Prairie team wasn't expecting the hard-hitters, but the the black and red persevered. The women even had few penalties!! GP didn't take home a win, but the real win was being able to jump through hoops with practice space before this game, pulling together a full team, and enthusiasm on the bench. A big thank you to Sean and Rachelle for keeping us organized and pumped up on the bench! Thank you to the refs - Pepper Grinder and her beautiful ref team for making the ..read more

For Iron Eden, the two practices a week with the RadLeak Rollers is a break from life as a mom. The hard hitter comes from an honest background of hockey as she played eight years competitively in Ontario. Although she is a rookie (under 10 games played), you would never know that about her by the amount of skill she possesses.  In 2012, she was recruited in her garage by the coach of the Westaskiwin Rez City Rollers. She had noticed Iron's roller blades in the corner of the room during a Kijiji deal in her garage and invited her out to show what she could do. After two practices, she ..read more

It has been a very successful few weeks for the GPRDA RadLeak Rollers! Our practice Thursday was a complete success. A huge thank you to Coach Hacksaw for keeping us moving.
