The Cincinnati Rollergirls are winding their way to a new venue in 2017 on Xavier University’s campus! Read the official announcement below.

Before she ever geared up and skated onto a derby track, Hustle (second from left) volunteered for the Cincinnati Rollergirls as a non-skating official and frequently profiled other skaters for CRG's website. Now, after trying out for the team three times, she's a skater herself - and ready to tell her own story.

With her trademark blue Kansas City Royals bandana, relentless recycling of opposing jammers when she's blocking and striking speed and agility when she puts on the jammer star, Royal T is always a standout when CRG's Black Sheep take the track. Here's the story of how she became crowned Royal T, how she's helping to train the next crop of CRG skaters and how she unwinds when she's not winding up to skate.

If you've been a CRG fan for the past few years, you know the name Jas Hubbard — or Jas "The Hammer" Hubbard, as our announcer The Loud Guy likes to call her (and now she even has a hammer tattoo to match).
It's a fitting nickname, as Hubbard has been an indispensable tool in CRG's offensive toolbox. She had four 100-plus-point games this year, scored an average of 91 points per game and had an average point differential of +65 points per game. All told, she scored a whopping 729 points this season alone. And she electrifies fans as she laps the pack with dizzying speed and agility and lands astonishingly high apex jumps.
We got this powerhouse point-scorer to slow down for a few minutes to tell us more about everything from her derby beginnings to her pre-game rituals to the kind of pizza that's the way to her heart.
