Evada Perón - Movin' On Up

We're no strangers to saying good bye. Some big names in Canadian roller derby got their start in black and purple; 8 Mean Wheeler, Amazombie, Mary Queen of Shotz, PLAYER 1, Sissy Straight-edge and coach Mack the Mouth were all on the FPC roster before they moved up to the big leagues of the WFTDA. But when you're destined for even greater greatness, saying goodbye to the Faster Pussycats is the price you have to pay.

Evada Perón has been a member of the Terminal City All-Stars for a few months now, but when she got drafted, she already had her eye on the 2012 Mercury Shield and didn't want to leave the winning trajectory that she and her beloved Pussycats had started at the beginning of the house team season. Vaders can testify that playing double duty on two teams can be very rewarding, but it's also an enormous commitment and not very many TCRG players are able to do it for long. So, it's with a heavy heart that we are announcing the departure of our ferocious, raven-haired freedom fighter, Evada Perón.

We asked her a few questions about her experience on the Pussycats' roster, and her new life as a full-time All-Star.
