HCRG vs She-Devils


Speeding off from the hotel to the arena.

Imagine a little car pulling up with a Canadian flag bigger than life sticking out of the window followed by a van of creaming roller girls, add to that the sounds of honking horns. The cars pull up to park and out emerge a bunch of crazy screaming, hooting and hollering canuck roller girls and refs jumping up and down waving the flag that's been latched onto a now visible hockey stick.

This is the image that I witnessed as well as a whole bunch of tiny kids probably between the ages of 6 to 8. Turns out there was a birthday party for kids at the arena before us. They wouldn't let us in so we waited in the parking lot until the kids were evacuated.

The fun stopped when we noticed Danger Mouse on her back on the floor in pain. At first we thought it was a sprain. Later we would find out it was a spiral fracture. The X-rays (as pictured below) were pretty nasty. As the arena did not have emergency services on site it was a good thing our team fans consisted of paramedics.

Lindsey was the first to skate onto the scene followed by Scott and Marybeth. Eventually the New Jersey EMS finally arrived with a gurney and everyone pitched in to help Danger Mouse get strapped in and off to the hospital.

There was a hanging black cloud over the girls when the derby was announced back on. The HCRG lost in the end to the Jersey She-Devils and we all made our way back to the hotel.
