Hard-hitting roller derby action is back in town next weekend.

Chilliwack's NWO Roller Derby will go head-to-head with Rose City Wreckers of Portland, Oregon on Saturday, March 22 at the Chilliwack Landing Sports Centre.

“The energy on game day is unreal,” said Eryne Croquet, a skater and board member with the local league, who's known on the track as Dirty Croquet.

“Roller derby isn’t just a sport – it’s an experience. From the moment that first whistle blows, you’ll be on the edge of your seat. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or new to derby, this is a game you don’t want to miss.”

Spectators can expect an evening packed with fast skating, big hits, and strategic gameplay.

The game starts at 6:30 p.m. and doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets are by donation and can be purchased at the door. This is an all-ages event.
