In the summer, my facility closes one of the ice surfaces to run other activities.
This weekend there was a B'more roller derby tournament.
Basically, it's a gang fight, without the knives, and with just enough rules to make it legal, but not enough to prevent people from getting hurt.
The girls - a lot of them big and burly - wear some padding - but not so much as to cover the tattoos.
It looks tougher than hockey.
I'm not too sure to what extent they are trying to look like street gangs, and to what extent they really are street gangs.
