@@jeremybear573 The "jammers" on each team (who have a different marked helmet) try to skate through the pack of skaters. They get a point for each opposing teams player they pass.

Chet Coppick doing the play by play. Amazing.

MIDWEST PIONEERS played most games then at the INTERNATIONAL AMPHITHEATER & at the HAMMOND CIVIC CENTER!!

I remember "The Golden Girl."

This game was nice to watch, but the year was 1973... The Jolters had Noreen Gallagher, Delores Roberson and Claudia Hobdy, I thought they were all on the Chiefs at this time. I'm super confused now.....

If you weren't around... i actually feel bad for what you missed

Denis Wilson. Nobody alive now was around for the birth of JESUS CHRIST, but I wouldnt feel BAD!! for anyone not seeing it!!

I wrote down the training center address and will send a postcard back in time.

This is the game where they tried to get over Villenuava (?) Didn't work. She just wasn't tough enough to deal with the likes of Vallow.

I much prefer the old Pioneer uniforms don't know why they bothered to change it to this one!

From what I heard they just got too old and ragged so they went with these instead of getting new ones made.

@@georgegong6813 I think they used them until maybe '85. The following year the teams all got new uniforms courtesy of ESPN for the Silver Cup Tournament, I think, but I could be wrong.

What city did the Pioneers represent? Thank you and God bless you.
