Huckleberry Gin #918, Slaughterers
How did you come up with your derby name?
Mark Twain? Booze? Seemed like a no-brainer. Though to be fair I was aiming for a Harry Potter related name first, and then I met the girl with the name (Mischief Managed). My number is more personal, it’s the area code where I was born and raised.
Do you have any pre-bout rituals?
Pre-Bout Waffles. Homemade, and accompanied by a breakfast spread that would make professional eaters blush.

Haun Solo #14, High Seas Hotties
What's the most rewarding aspect of playing the game?
Being a part of a team and the camaraderie. I have been involved in organized sports since I was 4 (soccer, volleyball, tennis, flag football). I love it and I need it.
If you could choose one skill in roller derby to perfect in an hour, what would it be and why?
I’d like to be able to hit a player into the air twice my size.

Maul Tease #9, Suicide Shifters
What prompted you to get involved in roller derby?
I lost my father to brain cancer, and then went through a bad break up with my boyfriend, and I was looking for something to help me find my inner strength. I was actually part of knitting group called "Sweet Stitching Bettys" in Ft Lauderdale, FL and one of the girls played roller derby. After I found out about the sport I was hooked. This was 2009.
How did you come up with your derby name?
I am an animal lover and work with a rescue group. All of my pets are rescued. One of my dogs was a Maltese named Winter. She was an awesome dog with a strong will to live. She was in a wheel chair for a while but learned to walk again. My derby name Maul Tease is named after her.

RETRO DOLLY #7, DEATH ROW RUMBLERS
What prompted you to get involved in roller derby?
It’s really not an exciting story. Roller derby is something I’ve always wanted to do, so one day I just decided I would do it. Why keep wishing and start doing!
How did you come up with your derby name?
I kept coming up with scary sounding names at first but that just didn’t seem to fit me. I wanted a name that was a reflection of my personality. I like pin up and vintage and somehow Retro Dolly just popped in my head. It’s also something I wouldn’t mind being called in front of other people.

Ravenous Bliss #88, Wrecking Crew
How did you come up with your derby name?
Have you seen me eat? I LOVE eating and my appetite is voracious. Most of my happiness involves food and if my appetite is satisfied, which is difficult at times, it’s complete bliss.
What's the most rewarding aspect of playing the game?
The most rewarding aspect of playing the game is to see what you are capable of accomplishing on the track. Skaters invest a significant amount of time training. It’s truly amazing to see how their hard work transpires during gameplay.

Dudley #10, The Slaughterers
What's the most rewarding aspect of playing the game?
The most rewarding aspect of playing derby is that you will quickly realize that you are going to be faced with a lot of challenges and sometimes it feels like you’ll never be able to get over the obstacles.
A big misconception is that all derby players are "tough broads" and not at all feminine. What would you tell them?
I feel like the biggest misconception is that you can’t be a tough broad and also feminine!

What's the most rewarding aspect of playing the game?
The most rewarding aspect of the game for me is the bond that is made with your team.
What's one thing you can't leave the house without?
Can't leave the house without my skates.
