Local women’s roller derby team needs skaters

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The Energetic City Roller Derby Association’s “Killbillies” are looking for female skaters aged 18 and over to join their team. 

According to Killbillies’ captain Jenna Roy, women with any level of fitness ability or roller derby experience are welcome to try out at the team’s drop-in skate. 

“It’s basically like a free drop-in. Give it a try, see how you do, see how you like it,” said Roy.
