OHRG Announces 2011 Season at Venue Announcement Party

Posted January 31, 2011 - 12:18pm by ohrgadmin

OHRG announced Saturday night that they will return to the Ohio Expo Center during their 2011 Season.

The season opener will be held Saturday, March 12 in the Ohio Building at the Expo Center (aka the State Fairgrounds) versus NEO Roller Derby of Akron, OH.

Season and individual bout tickets are now on sale for home games. Season tickets by far are the best value, giving a substantial discount to those fans who don’t want to miss a minute of the action. See the Tickets Page for more information on 2011 pricing and packages.

Also unveiled at the Season Announcement Party was an updated Ohio Roller Girls logo. The logo will be available on OHRG merch throughout the season and online merch sales are coming soon!

OHRG also collected donations of toiletries and supplies for The Open Shelter throughout the evening, and fans were treated to games and prizes throughout the night.

3rd Annual Combat Vets Tune-Up Motorcycle Ride

Posted June 2, 2010 - 9:04am by luke

On May 1st, 2010, the Ohio Roller Girls lent a helping hand by working with the 3rd Annual Combat Vets Tune-Up Motorcycle Ride to benefit Veterans. This Motorcycle & Auction combo is organized to raise money for Fisher House, which helps military families, and did just that! With only 88 motorcycles entered, due to inclement weather, compared to the 289 riders in 2009 - the days festivities & fun was not dampened. We helped raise $17,000 for this Veteran community - smashing last years $10,000 achievement. OHRG is honored we could help make this such a great success!

OHRG Volunteers for WCBE Spring Fun Drive

Posted March 24, 2010 - 1:22pm by deadeye

It’s the last day of the WCBE 90.5FM Spring Fundrive, and we hope you have donated your time/money. WCBE is a new OHRG sponsor for 2010 and some of us have been volunteering during the last week. If you donated you may have been chatting up one of your favorite skaters!

Our own Ice-G, a new OHRG volunteer, gave us the skinny:

I had the opportunity to help our radio sponsor WCBE 90.5 today and last week during their Spring fund drive. As a member of OHRG’s stats team, I love being part of a group focused on the Central Ohio community. And the community loves OHRG. Staff and other volunteers at WCBE couldn’t stop talking about derby and our first bout coming up—folks are excited. Plus, great networking to be had. Fundraising professionals gave me advice on our growth efforts, and other wannabes asked me about the next Skate Clinic. It was a blast.

There’s still time to donate, do it now!

Ghouls Take Skatemare III

Posted November 4, 2009 - 11:04am by deadeye

Skatemare is an awesome event because we get to be really competitive against some of our biggest motivators, idols, and opponents—our own teammates. Skatemare is not a sanctioned WFTDA game, meaning that it is basically about having a great time playing roller derby with our awesome home-team crowd cheering us on. Ghostly music was juxtaposed with holiday tunes. About 250 derby fans joined us for viewing the game, many of them new to the raucous game.
