Sounds good, right? Here's what it means:

As a good TCRG fan, you already know that our last game of the season was on August 7. "You just started in April, and now it's all over?" you lament? By most sports standards, that is a really short season. This isn't our choice! We live in a winter sports town and we rely on venues that put their hockey or curling ice in at the end of August. After that, we've got no real home until April rolls around again. As you can imagine, this limits our ability to bring fast-paced, hard-hitting roller derby action to the Lower Mainland. It also limits our ability to practice hard all year round to remain competitive with the rest of the roller derby leagues in North America; and if you've ever seen us play, you KNOW we don't like to lose.

There's a solution: If we could get our hands on some sports flooring (you know, those durable plastic floor tiles that snap together), the heavens would open up. We could slap down our new floor and play in venues we couldn't before because they don't want our wheels to mark up their floor - like gyms, exhibition halls or Pacific Coliseum (Hey, we can dream, can't we?) or in spaces that would normally be dangerous for us. But sports flooring is expensive. Like, $20,000 expensive.
