Mohawk Valley Cup IV: Another international affair!
Happy Holidays everyone.
We are excited to announce that the 4th annual Mohawk Valley Cup
will be held August 8-9 2015 at the same venue (JFK Arena, 500 W Embargo St, Rome NY 13440). You can get updates and let us know you are coming on the Facebook event page here.
Another exciting piece of news to share: While you can expect to see the full team lineups announced in early 2015, we made the decision to offer early acceptance to the men of Tyne and Fear Roller Derby from Walker, Newcastle, England so that they may raise funds and plan games with plenty of time. Tyne & Fear will join the defending MVC champions, the New York Shock Exchange, tournament hosts, the Quadfathers, and five yet to be announced teams for the 2015 tournament.
Look out soon for another potential (and very exciting) early acceptance for another international league, and we will update as soon as we have the remaining slots confirmed.
Can't wait to see you all in August!

MVC 2014: The Afterparty
Its a relatively easy drive from the arena to the hotel, with ample parking
Directions HERE
IMPORTANT:
This is a BYOB event. Well, its actually 'bring your own liquids' in general, including non-alcoholic stuff. Guests of the tournament are encouraged to stop at one of our fine local groceries or specialty stores and stock up on tasty beverages.
We will have some food available, but it will likely go fast. If you plan to take your time getting to the afterparty, you may want to think about grabbing food on the way. There is also made to order options at the hotel bar/restaurant.
For those who enjoy specialty beers, Marcy Discount Beverage is just down the road towards Utica (maybe 12-15 min from venue) and has a vast selection to choose from. They're open Mon-Sat 9-9 and Sun 12-5, so plan accordingly before you make the trip.
If anyone wants to go bigger, McCraith Beverages in Yorkville (~20 min from venue) will sell kegs and rent taps.

Final Teams and Bracket for MVC 2014
We had some last minute changes to MVC, which delayed the final bracket.
Tampa Bay and Rock City both had to drop out of attending MVC this year, and we searched diligently for teams to replace them. In the end, we extended an invite to Jersey Boys Roller Derby to replace Tampa Bay, and the 8th slot will be filled with a mashup team of MRDA skaters, which we are affectionately calling 'The Replacements'.
Jersey Boys Roller Derby are approximately a year old, hailing from Springfield, NJ. They have had a great inaugural season so far, with close wins over CT Death Quads, Harm City Havoc, and The Quadfathers, and are in the midst of the MRDA membership process.
The Replacements are going to be the team to watch MVC weekend. The wildcard for sure. The team is comprised of skaters from the CT Death Quads, Capital City Hooligans, Philadelphia Hooligans, Ottawa Slaughter Squad, and Capital District Trauma Authority (you can also call them the 'Slaughter District Death Hooligans', but we like 'The Replacements' for short). While these guys haven't had time to skate together and work on strategy, they represent a really strong group of skaters from all over and should be a good time to watch.
The new bracket, with the new team changes, is:
Don't forget to buy your advance sale tickets while you can!
Ticketing is LIVE via Brown Paper Tickets, here!

Quadfathers announce new coach!
We realized recently that we dropped the ball on some important announcements regarding the Quadfathers' coaching staff. At the end of the 2013 season, Slay West stepped down from coaching the team to concentrate more on her own skating. We were sad to see her go, but we understand completely that she needed to take the energy used for coaching and apply it to training, and from what we've seen its certainly working for her this season! Plus, we still get to see Slay a lot as she's a familiar face on the NSO crew at most of our bouts and still beats on us at co-ed practices :)
So, without further ado, we would like to announce and congratulate our new coach, Smitten Kitten, on a great first season thusfar. The mood and attitude of this year's team is amazing and we thank her for everything she has done. To introduce Kitten to our fans, we asked her to answer a few questions about herself, roller derby, and coaching this group of goons. (CK = Coach Kitten)
QF: First, would you mind telling us a little bit about yourself? (Job, pets, favorite food, etc.)
CK: My favorite food is cheese. I have 2 ten year old kitties and 2 one year old doggies. I have a
Bachelor's degree in Medical Technology and work for a Medical Group laboratory which means I perform lab tests to help diagnosis and treat you when you see the doctor. I'm looking at going back to school for my Master's in Nutrition.
QF: What's your derby name and why did you choose it?
CK:My derby name is Smitten Kitten because I love kitties. My number is 88 because Back to the
Future.
QF: How long have you been involved in derby and in what aspects have you been involved?
CK: I started playing roller derby in 2009. In 2011 I transferred to Central New York Roller
Derby, which I still call home, and very quickly began taking on jobs with recruitment and
coaching newbies, organizing fundraisers, and was elected as Secretary on their Board of
Directors. I still remain in that position and occasionally coach our newbie and league practices.
Last season I played with our All Star travel team but took a step back from competitive play this
season. I intend on getting back into that next year.
QF: Now I am sure this is the question everyone wants to know the answer to, why the heck did
you agree to coach The Quadfathers :) ?
CK: The Quadfathers are CNYRD's brother league so I've been around these guys for a few years.
This season they were looking for some help so I volunteered to be around to run some practices
and help with whatever they needed. I don't think anyone expected it to turn into a full time gig,
but I'm happy it did.
QF: So, you have been coaching us for about 1/2 of a season and we currently are 3 and 2.
Congratulations on getting us to this point. What has been your favorite moment so far?
CK: I don't have a single favorite moment. Every practice the guys work harder. Every game the
teamwork improves. They bust their assess and they leave smiling. Watching them give their all at
practice and at games makes me happy.
QF: Do you have any other hobbies or pastimes that you enjoy besides derby?
CK: I like cooking and baking. And taking pictures of things I cook and bake.
QF: Any insight you can give to aspiring derby coaches specifically men's derby coaches?
CK: Derby men's locker rooms stink. Have your halftime team meetings elsewhere.
...And here is what a few of our veteran skaters had to say about our new Coach.....
Tommy Talbot aka TOM-A-HAWK #1225:
“I feel this season has been a lot of fun but also a lot of hard work so far, and having Kitten step up
and coach us knowing that we have a lot of strong personalities to contend
with has been great. She has made us all bust our butts out there and has done it in a positive way where we feel we need to give her 150% at every practice and every game.”
Stephen Burt aka Bobby Brady #8
“We are very fortunate to have Coach Kitten step in this season. She has played a key role in our
season and has done a great job at keeping the team unified. Whether it be during practice or in a
bout she has been the extra eyes and guidance that we need. We really appreciate her taking the
role as Coach and look forward to finishing up this season strong.”
Graham Espe aka Grambo #37:
“The team was a bit lost over the winter. We had the drive for a really good season - Brandon stayed on as captain for a second year, and we were all excited to build on what we accomplished last year. I
think everyone felt like things were starting to gel in our teamwork and camaraderie but coaching
each other adds stress that no one wants. Kitten stepped up initially as a favor for a couple
practices and it went great. She's really pushed the team into a more positive space and knows how
to handle lots of strong personalities without getting flustered. I know I'm in better shape than I've
ever been in my life, and part of that is definitely from her practices. I'm excited to see what the
future holds.”
So, if you see Kitten, give her a high five and congrats on the new position and on keeping us in line!

The Pool is OPEN
 |
| Photo: Hale Yeah Enjoyment: Bereft of Manchester New Wheeled Order :) |
For those that haven't been before, the pool is RIGHT outside the main doors of the venue (and also a convenient spot to hang gear to dry in the fence between games). There are changing rooms and showers in a separate pool cabana building. There's even a slide. The pool is run by the City of Rome, who has been very generous in allowing its usage for our sweaty, smelly friends. It will be open to the public at the same times, and hot weekends draw lots of families with kids- so please keep it rated PG and don't give the teenage lifeguards a hard time (or, at least, tip them if you do lol)
