And this is just one (of many) reasons I couldn't stand this skating product. "Drama"--CONSTANT drama (real or imagined). I don't know why they did this. There were simply too many great skaters to let this nonsense conquer the game.
The fact is, Griffiths believed that if the sport was skated legit or without heat it would be boring. When Jerry Hill ran the East Coast, he let the skaters skate and took care of the business. The skaters knew when to throw in some heat if the crowd became too quiet or looked bored. Otherwise, while Jerry Hill ran the games, the Warriors skated a game that was much more Derby style. Once the big Chicago interleague game happened and Jerry Hill got NO credit for all the work he did, he left. Then the Warriors game had more storylines and much more of the drama that you disliked.
Judy Arnold Caption of the Philadelphia Warriors with Buddy Atkinson Coach, Judy Sowinski Captin of the New York Bombers with Coach Ronnie Raines , Diane Syverson Captain of the Detroit Devils and Coach Leroy Gonzoles, Sally Vega?????? I know she skated with the Warriors, the Southern Stars of Roller Derby with Ann Cavello as Captain, I don't get Sally Vega as a good Captain sorry no way. Arnold and Sowinski were the best!
Growing up on Cape Cod I remember sneaking down to the basement on weekend nights to watch the roller games. Many times well after midnight! Jim Trotter and Judy Arnold. Commercials tried to sell country albums …Skeeter Davis. Fifty years ago but I still remember!
I miss the those Games so much thanks for everything good to see old friends good memories again

@@JJN259 Thank you for that information. Always glad to hear some factual news. It's a shame the sport had to end. I (literally) cut my teeth on it!!
Too bad there's no game with Charlie O as a T-Bird
Like seeing Laszlo in a TBird uniform
Who is Dc 10
Patti Cavin. Before the T-Birds, she was on the Texas Outlaws, NY Bombers and Western Renegades.
Watching Judy Arnold as a thug is a treat. I am from South Jersey and the Warriors were the good guys.
