My friend Cathy and I went to all the roller derby games at Commack Arena and Nassau Coliseum. Great memories of John Early and Larry Lee.

Soo enjoyable, really miss it, after spending 7 years, mostly on the road!!

I loved seeing Jan Vallow working well with Barbara Baker, Rose Duran, and Pam Canneva ❤️🤘🏾❤️🤘🏾❤️🤘🏾❤️

Walt Harris was an outstanding play by play announcer who actually turned down NFL jobs to work roller derby.

I thought I read someplace that Walt Harris did cover a few early 60's 49er & Raider games like during the exhibition season before regular season & taken over by Network television. Exhibition games like today covered by Independent Stations back then which of course employed Walt Harris who also did morning news @ that early time of television.

Some would call Walt the Gordon Solie of Roller Derby, but some would join me in referring to Gordon as the Walt Harris of pro wrestling!

I LOVE ROLLER DERBY

Watch villain Jan Vallow pound villain Sandy Dunn starting at 5:55. I watched Golden Girl Joan Weston knock Sandy senseless every week on TV back in 1972-73. Joan was on the Pioneers and Sandy was on the Chiefs.

@@NYRNGR1 Thanks for your reply. I didn't say Joanie never beat Dunn, just that I never saw one match where she did!

The Jolters seem to use a lot of strategic blocking, they took the early lead. God bless everyone :)

I always loved watching Jan Vallow she was always one of my favorites even though if she was a villain I love Joan Weston but I think Vallow had an edge on all of them she was just out right Junkyard dog tough

Mark: Believe it or not, Joanie Weston trained Jan Vallow...AND...off the track, they were BEST friends!!

It looks like all the news are put on TV now, You're lately.

2020 No clue how they score but I saw some crazy low blows on this even Ric FLAIR was yellin Whooooooooooo

The Jolters had the youngest squad in the league @ the time they definitely needed veteran Jammers to add to it's depth & got it with Eddie Krebs & Barbara Baker Krebs added to the team after the departure of Larry Smith & Francine Cochu. Too bad Eddie Krebs didn't last long & it really put a lot of pressure on 1st year Skaters Charlie Gipson, Mike Moore, Robert Graves, & Ted Taucher to learn quickly. All 4 had a promising career had the original Seltzer IRDL not had folded later that Winter. As for the woman's field not much credit was given to Rose Duran either for carrying a lot of the load till Barbara Baker arrived to help. Interesting to note too the Red Devils & Jolters often borrowed a lot of the same Skaters for both red shirt teams.

That Jan Vallow one he'll of a roller derby lady.

I miss my beloved Cincinnati Jolters, deeply saddened when they became a fulltime red shirt team, and couldn't help thinking what if had they skated home games at the then-Riverfront Coliseum, now Heritage Bank Center when it opened......

West Coast Roller Games was terrible - glamour and glitz. East coast skaters were athletes. Even the east coast roller games was far superior with the Philadelphia Warriors. I've lived on the west coast for a long time and when I hear people longing for the T-Birds, I always think, you have no idea what you're talking about.
