I have not yet been able to attend the roller derby, but many friends of IheartPGH (foIhPGH have recommended these derby events as a heck of a good time. One FoIHPGH even suggested that I try out for the roller derby. I am not sure if I am ready for that yet (I do like to rollerblade on the jail trail.) It is great to see that the roller derby has a loyal following here in Pittsburgh.

The Roller Derby is Back:Slumber Party Slashers vs. The Wrecking Dolls

I happen to know that there are quite a few roller derby fans that are regular readers of IheartPGH (thanks for reading!). The Steel City Derby Demons are back with another round this weekend, I believe this is the last match before the championships. The Slumber Party Slashers, who are sponsored by IheartPGH’s favorite print shop – Commonwealth Press, and the Wrecking Dolls are both 1 and 1 in their series so this should be an exciting match.

Pittsburgh Roller Derby – Night of the Living Demons

The night you have been waiting for is almost here. This Saturday, September 8th is the Steel City Derby Demons Championship Bout. The Steel City Derby Demons are Pittsburgh’s all female roller derby. My good friend Pat Clark is volunteering his time as the announcer for this weekend match. I have read a number of rave reviews of the roller derby and if this is where Pat is spending his Saturday night, then you are guaranteed a good time.
