It’s mid-May and it’s time to celebrate the birthday of another fantastic Team Canada skater. 🇨🇦
Let’s wish the happiest of birthdays to Doug Drillmore! 🎂
When Dougie isn’t representing the national team, he’s all over Alberta, growing the sport of roller derby.
This guy is an endless ball of positivity and a menace on the track, who never seems to stop playing derby.
We love his dedication and hard work, so for this we say have the bestest of b-days!

That's my Uncle! That's my Dad!
The next person up in Team Canada's skater introductions may not live in our country, but he's Canadian through and through.
It's Uncle Dad!
This incredible jammer, who has only been playing roller derby for four years, is back for his second stint with Team Canada, and we're so glad to have him back.
When he isn't representing our nation or tearing up the track with the Philadelphia Hooligans, Uncle Dad plays hockey and juggles. He also loves board games, home improvement, beer brewing, and racing cars.
You probably saw Uncle Dad picking up all the points (he's the really tall jammer) at April Angst or The Big O, but if you didn't get a chance, check out some of his footage here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCWuducJ9YA
Uncle Dad would like to give a shout-out to Oat Foundry (www.oatfoundry.com).

Did you enjoy Team Canada's first skater introduction on Wednesday? Good, because we've got another one!
Coming straight at you from Montreal with the eye of the tiger, it's Buddy Oli!
This seven-year roller derby veteran represents Montreal's Mont Royals, the @lowlifemtl skate crew, and is in his third stint with Team Canada.
When he isn't devoting most of his time to derby, he enjoys a good book, loves flipping through comic books or taking a load off with some video games.
You can catch him suiting up for the @mrdmontreal at Mohawk Valley Cup next week (www.facebook.com/events/1146751268826332/ ) or at the Battle of Bunker Hill in June (www.facebook.com/events/1232344896920085/ ).

Since the training roster of Team Canada Men's Roller Derby was announced last December, we've been working hard towards meeting our goals at the 2020 Men's Roller Derby World Cup in St. Louis.
We've been practising, strategizing, and getting to know one another.
We've learned a lot about the incredible athletes on this team so far and we'd like to begin introducing them all to you.
Today's introduction series begins with a skater many of you might already be familiar with.
You may remember his game-winning last jam against the Bridgetown Menace from The Big O last week. If you haven't seen it, we suggest you do: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHTODQS52o4
He's back for a second run with Team Canada and plays for the Vancouver Murder when he isn't skating with the national team.
It's Mr. Testosterone!
When Sonny isn't playing roller derby, his hobbies include powerlifting and editing and creating videos. You can watch some of his outstanding video work on one of his social media channels on Facebook (www.facebook.com/testosterone.sonny ) or Instagram (mrtestosteroneltw8).
The native of Prince George, British Columbia is in his sixth year of playing roller derby and wanted to give shout-outs to his sponsors at Roller Derby Elite, Anabolix Wheels, Splendid Bastard, Sliq Bearings, Hit Squad TV, and Steaks Contact Wear.
