Photos: Rat City Rollergirls @ KeyArena

Although I recall watching roller derby on television 20+ years ago, this was my first experience to see it in person – and photographing it was a challenge. The event was the last of the season and it was against two respected teams from New York City. The first bout of the evening was the Rat City Rain of Terror vs. the Gotham Girls Roller Derby Wall St. Traitors followed by the main event, the Rat City All Stars vs. the Gotham Girls Roller Derby All Stars. While the outcome wasn’t what the hometown fans would have liked, it was absolutely clear that they love their Rat City Rollergirls.
