Everyone knows that the only thing that remains consistent in this world (especially in roller derby), is change.
We're making some changes in the league this year, and one of them is putting more work into supporting our Terminal City All-Stars. We made a commitment last year to become a WFTDA league, and with that comes a higher level of competition and dedication. That means that some tough decisions had to be made, within the league and within the Faster Pussycats.
It is possible for a TCRG player to be on a house team and the All-Stars, but it's difficult to put in enough time and sweat that it takes to help make both teams cohesive and focused. And we all know that's what it takes to win bouts. So, some of our team leaders and superstars had to bite the bullet, and they made the difficult decision to step down from the Pussycats. For the 2012 season, we say a bittersweet farewell to 8Mean Wheeler, Amazombie, Johnny Qwadd, Mack the Mouth, Mary Queen of Shotz, PLAYER 1 and Sissy Straight-edge.
We cherish the short time we had together, and we wish them tons of love on their journey towards WFTDA West Region domination with the All-Stars. The Pussycats wouldn't be the team we are today if it wasn't for these amazing people. See you at Westerns and LOS GATOS POR LA VIDA!
