It’s been a while since we last offered our fans some sweet, sweet internet content, so here’s an exciting announcement we’ve been holding onto for just the right time. Consider it an early holiday gift.
Team Canada would like to welcome three new additions to our squad as we continue to train hard and get ready for the 2020 World Cup in St. Louis.
First up is:
David Metcalfe - 386
Metcalfe is a jammer for the MRDA champion St. Louis Gatekeepers. He hails from Scranton, Florida and Springfield, Illinois and is also a little bit Canadian. He’s been skating for seven years, and after helping found the men’s league in Springfield, moved to St. Louis to join the Gatekeepers.
“I’m happy to say I’ve been along for the wild ride that is the Gatekeeper champs streak,” Metcalfe says. “It’s been forever challenging, but I can’t wait for this next challenge where I can represent my heritage and wife, who is the raddest person I know, and who has helped turn me into the athlete I am today.”
Next we have:
Merlin - 540
Merlin has been playing roller derby for five seasons with the Twin City Terrors based out of Minnesota.
He was born in Fort Frances, Ontario and loves petting cats.
Last, but not least is:
TAZ - 2931
TAZ spent last season skating with Edmonton’s E-Ville Dead and has been playing roller derby for nearly a decade. They’ve spent four years on a WFTDA charter team and 2 years on a MRDA charter, while also making three previous Canadian National teams.
