That is a wrap for Black 'n' Blue 2025!
Congrats to the Line Cutters for taking first place in the adult tournament! ๐
And huge props to our juniors, who battled through three incredibly tough games and showed up with so much heart. ๐
We are so thankful that you all continue to make this event one of the absolute best times of the year. Every season, we watch skaters, officials, and volunteers leave completely exhausted and completely full. Full of joy, full of community, full of that roller derby magic you cannot fake. We see new friendships spark, old ones deepen, and connections form that can genuinely last a lifetime. The cross league love and support you bring lifts our whole community to a new level.
And every year, this thing grows a little more. What started as a one day mixed scrimmage fourteen years ago has now become a full three day, two track event that has run strong for thirteen seasons, excluding 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic. Folks travel a little farther, more leagues hear about it, people shift their holiday plans for it, and this weekend slowly and surely becomes a tradition.
We are genuinely honored that you show up year after year and help keep this event alive and thriving. Here is to another amazing season and to all of you who make it what it is.
