Got this really cool shirts signed by both the female and male roller derby teams of Edmonton Alberta, Canada.

I did mention in my profile that I liked both rugby and football and was interested in a shirt related to the towns clubs, but Edmonton doesn't play those sports, but they play another cool sport called Roller Derby. A sport that is not played much, well if it is played at all that is, where I live. I do however know well a really tiny bit about this sport and must admit I really think it is cool, surely must have something to do with the fact that it's a physical sport just like rugby. But unfortunately my knowledge of this sport is limited I've just about seen one movie about Roller Derby called Whip it (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1172233/) a while back and around the same time I saw a segment in a TV-show telling about the newly formed Roller Derby team in Reykjavík, Iceland (my hometown). If that had not been a girls only team and for the fact that I'm not too good with rollerskates, or well I can't imagine as I've never stood on those and was never too good on rollerblades I'd probably give it a go as it sure looks like fun!

Until I received this gift I was in the belief that roller derby was a female only sport, but due to this giveaway I learned that it did also exist for guys which I think is cool!

Thanks Deetena for this cool gift!

I'll make sure to see roller derby if I ever visit Canada, and will make sure to cheer for Edmonton's teams!
