Welcome back HKRG fans! Our 2017 season is just getting started as our Brawlers had their 1st bout against the Chattanooga Roller Girls a couple of weeks ago. If you noticed a skater with the number 1234 on her back, then you saw one of our newer girls in action. That was Kitty Twister, our frisky kitty-loving roller girl, tearing up the track. Terror Tot was the last featured skater of 2016 and in her interview, she told me she wanted to see Kitty Twister as the next featured skater because of her drive from the very start, so if you’re like Terror Tot and as curious as a cat yourself, then read on to find out more about this month’s featured skater, Kitty Twister. 

Look for your Hard Knox Roller Girls this Saturday, March 4th in downtown Knoxville at the 10th Annual Mardi Growl Parade hosted by Young-Williams Animal Center. Parade kicks off at 11am; festival in Market Square will follow from 12pm-2pm. Hope to see you there!

The Brawlers had a speedy new jammer join their ranks this season. Where did she come from, and what does she do to get ready for bout day? Why does she prefer jamming to blocking? How has roller derby translated into her daily life? If you're wondering what her childhood nickname was or curious about what she's going to dress up as for Halloween, then read on to find out more about this month's featured skater, Terror Tot. 

If you've noticed a certain rosy-faced skater out on the track this season, then you've witnessed one of our newest Brawlers in action. What goes through her head during a jam? Which skills has she been working on this season? What drives her to play roller derby in the first place? 

She's square-danced in Roanoke and eaten pizza in NYC. She's also got a few witty jokes up her sleeve. If you're curious about the inspiration behind her derby name or if you'd like to know how to make the perfect ooey-gooey cookie, then kick back, relax, and read on to learn more about some of the things that make up the skater, the warrior, and the woman who is Rosie Burns.
