Member of the Month

Get to know some of the people behind the personas with our Member of the Month!

May’s Member of the Month: Cinderhella!

May’s Member of the Month has been around nearly from the beginning. She’s one of the unsung heroes of roller derby. Skaters are great and all, but no league could function without our behind-the-scenes crew. We’re proud to introduce our unofficial league mom, volunteer extraordinaire, and part-time superhero: Cinderhella!

April’s Member of the Month: Piña Collider!

This month, we pay tribute to Piña Collider, who is the Backyard Bullies’ co-captain and is one of Suburban Brawl’s top jammers, so you know she has excellent footwork. She’s also responsible for our art, so you’ve probably seen her excellent handiwork, too! Learn more about her below:

February’s Member of the Month: Pummel Entendre!

February’s Member of the Month is a wall unto herself–a powerful blocker able to stop a jammer without giving an inch, or blast an opposing blocker out of the way, all with a smile on her face. She’s also serving on our 2019 Board of Directors as our Event Coordinator. Say hello to Pummel Entendre!

January’s Member of the Month: AldanaMite!

January’s Member of the Month is our tiny but mighty Argentinian powerhouse: AldanaMite! Mite is a key member of Suburban Brawl, blocking people twice her size and occasionally jamming. She’s also Brawl’s co-MVP for 2018 and was the MVP for 2017. Is a three-peat in the cards for 2019? Learn more about her below!

October’s Member of the Month: Auntie Climax!

This month’s MotM is bittersweet: we’re celebrating Auntie Climax, who just retired after 10 years with us. And she went out on a high note, winning her last Brawl bout (thanks in part to her fantastic blocking, of course). We don’t want her to go, but go she must. Learn more about her below. We’ll miss you, Max!

Sam Handwich Is July’s Member of the Month!

If you’ve ever been to one of our home bouts, then you must know Sam Handwich. Our announcer has been with us since the beginning (10 years this month!). That’s a lot of announcing, so Sam definitely deserves to be recognized as our member of the month. Learn more about him below!

Smashing Pumpkin Is June’s Member of the Month!

This month’s member of the month is Smashing Pumpkin. If you know anything about Suburbia Roller Derby, then you know Smashing Pumpkin! She has been with SRD since the beginning — June is her tenth derbyversary — and she has basically done everything in and for the league. Learn more about her below!

Philbotomy Is May’s Member of the Month!

Philbotomy is Suburbia Roller Derby’s Head Referee, but he doesn’t just help us learn (and follow!) the rules; you may see him officiating a bout near you, because Phil helps out other leagues, too. Not only does he put in a ton of time for the league on and off skates, but sometimes he also brings us homemade breads and pastries. Learn more about Philbotomy below:
