Remember a few posts away (Vote and Win) where NWSource was hosting a poll for the fan favorite team of the Rat City Rollergirls? Well, the results are in as the Throttle Rockets take the honor! Geoff did a nice write up that was very fitting to our team. I remember the very first year when we came out of the gate like a jet-fuel packed machine taking no prisoners. Um, the fans kinda thought we were mean. We hit hard and we play focused and hard. Well we got a rep, and coupled with the black and silver we always felt like the Oakland Raiders of the league. Seriously, people BOOED us! To be really honest with you, we were a bit crushed and instead of crying in our beer we decided we would play it up a bit. There wasn't anything we could do.
I think that moniker has been sloughed off though, especially as we do throw the best team nights (sorry GD, DLF and SW but we owe it all to the Funhouse). And many fans, regardless of the teams they support can be seen there (um as well as skaters on the other teams). People started to see us in a different light and have kinda grown to like us. It's not all about the partying though. I think we have a great solid heart and a good solid team that truly cherishes teamwork. I love the spacey ladies of the Throttle Rockets - and I think you will too!
Our next team night - because I KNOW you want to go - will be on Saturday, April 26th - be there or be square.
Okay, you have until Wednesday at Noon Pacific to vote for your favorite Rat City Rollergirls Team. The obvious choice is the Throttle Rockets.... seriously. Regardless of WHO you vote for NWSource is giving away free season passes to a random winner. What could you be waiting for, it only takes a second!
