Killjoys play host to Babes during only stop of West Kootenay Roller Derby Saturday at NDCC Arena

Saturday’s opening West Kootenay Roller Derby tilt at the NDCC Arena in Nelson promises to be a grudge match of the ages.

That’s because the last time Salmo’s Babes of Brutality and Nelson Killjoys met, the Heritage City squad came out the winner thanks to a technical error.

“It is custom in the sport of roller derby to go over the officials paper work after a close bout to check that the score was added up correctly,” a Killjoys team spokesperson said of Saturday's West Kootenay Roller Derby Doubleheader beginning at 5 p.m. in the NDCC Arena in Nelson.

COMMENT: Possible expansion at Red Mountain serves as a 'Grey area' for development

I'm confident that everyone reading this has heard at least one of the many rumours surrounding the proposed 'new' chairlift going up Grey Mountain.  With an official announcement from Howard Katkov postponed until further notice, the rumour mill seems to have found another gear.  Everyone I've talked to has heard something different, and it is easy to understand the reasons why.  The Grey Mountain expansion represents a cautious next step in the development of Red Mountain Resort.

CSA red cards Quebec Federation for not allowing wearing of turbans/patkas/keski by players

It's a red card and it's going to the Quebec Soccer Federation for their non-compliance to the directive of allowing the wearing of turbans/patkas/keski by soccer players.

In a bold, but surprising move, the Canadian Soccer Association Board of Directors on Monday 10 June 2013 moved to immediately suspend the Quebec Soccer Federation for its decision to not allow the wearing of turbans/patkas/keski by soccer players.

It's obvious from the weekend results there’s some pretty good skill on the local roller derby circuit.

West Kootenay teams, the All-Star juggernaut known as the Kootenay Kannibelles and Dam City Rollers out of Castlegar, pounded visiting teams from Spokane and Kamloops during a weekend twin bill at the Selkirk College gymnasium in the Sunflower City.

Kannibelles walked all over the Spokannibals from the Lilac City 299-78 in the feature match Saturday at Selkirk College.
