The Heavy Metal Hookers like their music loud and their messages louder.
On Saturday their message was made loud and clear.

Held at the Fleisher Art Memorial on Sunday, May 6, the Philadelphia Burger Brawl had 20 Philly chefs duking it out burger-by-burger to determine the Best Burger in Philly! Philly Roller Girls were on hand to help staff the event, from setup to teardown, and great fun was had by over 500 attendees! Capital Grille was chosen #1 by the celebrity judges, and Bobby Flay's Burger Palace was the People's Choice.

On Thursday, April 26th, members of Philly Roller Girls volunteered at the Annual United Cerebral Palsy "Life Without Limits 5k Run" at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The group made quite a statement as they kept the crowd of over 1,500 runners safe and sound as serving as the course patrol for the race.

Philadelphia, PA--Philly Roller Girls, members of the Women’s Flat Track Roller Derby Association (WFTDA), and among the top 12 teams in the world, are proud to announce their late-season move from the Class of 1923 Arena to Temple University’s Liacouras Center.

The balance of power has shifted, at least for now.

Opening Day roller derby showcased some speedy skaters, a lot of hard knocks, and the potential for a knockout season of Philly Roller Girls action. More importantly, no status appears to be safe as the 2011 Warrior Cup defending champion Philthy Britches suffered a tough defeat to league rivals, the Broad Street Butchers.
