The Bulkley Valley Bruisers are on the prowl for "fresh meat" in the valley.

This is the Bulkley Valley Roller Derby (BVRD) team with members from Smithers, Telkwa and Houston. They began competing in 2015 and were "on a roll" until 2020.

Hellion Wheels (Val Goader) is a team lead and remembers when they had to stop competing, practicing and getting together to ride. She began in the BVRD "Fresh Meat" program in 2020.

"I had just suffered an injury in the winter of 2020, so I was out of commission already but I didn't expect that it would be two years before I'd be back on wheels."

Hellion wants to address some of the stigma that comes along with a contact sport (on wheels!) so that anyone who is remotely interested in the valley feels comfortable enough to check it out.

If anyone is interested, contact bulkleyvalleyrollerderby@gmail.com and join the Fresh Meat program. It's $150 for a ten week course, and you even get to pick your own name.
