Edmonton improved to 4-3 with the win, while Calgary dropped to 3-4.

Roller Girls Revive A Moribund Sport

Roller Derby has been around for years and was a staple of the early days of television. It was similar to its better known counterpart, pro wrestling and was seen on many of the same low powered UHF stations in the same bad timeslots.
