What the Dominion Derby Girls had to say about Big Daddy:

“Not only has he stepped up as a bench coach (and now league coach), but he has dedicated God only knows how many hours to trying to develop this league. He researches everything from drills for practice, to potential sponsors and events, to future venues. I’m pretty sure that man wakes up thinking about derby, goes to bed thinking about derby, and probably even dreams in derby. He pushes us so hard in practice and puts up with a lot of moaning and groaning for one reason and one reason only- he wants us to succeed. The team has grown in leaps and bounds since ECE and much of that can be attributed to Big Daddy’s contributions. We don’t say “thank you” enough at practice… mainly because he makes us sprint until we can barely breathe. So I nominate Big Daddy to say thank you for all his hard work and dedication and perseverance. We are a better, stronger, closer team because of him.”

“Big Daddy has done so much research for us and has put in the time and effort to help us succeed.”

Congratulations Big Daddy on being September’s Member of the Month!!

    Liked the profile and I have a question about roller derby in general.

    Seems in the 80s I saw a derby movie or show that was like the “ultimate rink.” It had ramps like some kind of twisted Matchbox like track, people were constantly flying over rails, special effects lighting and thrills and spills not for the faint of heart.

    Ring any bells? Do they still do this?

    I do remember that and used to watch it religiously. However, I haven’t seen it in years and haven’t heard anything about it making a comeback.
