Who are this year’s captains?
Our captains are founder Trish the Dish and former Jet City skater Pippy Longstalker. Both skaters are born leaders and inspirational players and personalities, backed by a team that is 110% all the time.
Who is the newest skater to your travel team? Your most veteran skater?
Our team is largely made up of transfer players from around the San Diego / Southern California area. A fair number of our players played banked track and most of the rest started with a successful rink team in town. So while our team is new, our players our not. Our founders, Trish the Dish and Ivanna S Pankin, started in 2004 and 2003, respectively. We bring a lot of experience to the table.
Has your league experienced any retirements, transfers or injuries in the past year that have made a substantial difference in your league’s play and performance?
Charleston is going to be our debut, in a sense. We've been playing for 3 years, but haven't gotten too far outside our Southwest area. So it would be surprising if anyone had an idea what to expect of our league's play and performance in the first place - except that we're fearless and hungry!
Does your team have a motto?
RELEASE THE KRAKEN.
Real. Strong. Athletic. Revolutionary.
