Lehigh Valley Rollergirls to premiere all new home teams this Saturday in season opener

Allentown, PA- The Lehigh Valley Rollergirls will introduce fans to their new teams, the Metal Vixens and the Blast Furnace Betties, this Saturday, March 1st, when they open their 2014 season with a intraleague bout at the Independence Family Fun Center in Schnecksville.

This will be fans first chance to see the new teams in action and see what team their favorite roller girls are skating for.

About LVRG- With the revival of women’s roller derby sweeping the nation, the Lehigh Valley Rollergirls were established in January 2006 with the hope of bringing the thrill and excitement of the game to the Valley. The Lehigh Valley Rollergirls are the area’s only women’s flat track roller derby league, and have rapidly grown from just a handful of women meeting at open skates to full WFTDA members with a travel team and two home teams. LVRG has received much attention from local media outlets, including PBS and Pulse Weekly, and even traveled to Montreal in June 2007 to play in one of the first international roller derby bouts since the revival of the sport. This 501(c)(7) non-profit, skater-owned and operated league is dedicated to promoting strong women and the spirit of sisterhood, both on and off the track. When not in the rink, the girls can often be found at various community events in the area. www.lehighvalleyrollergirls.com
