Patuxent Roller Derby Hosts Roller Prom To Fundraise For New Rink, Celebrate Season's End

HOWARD COUNTY, MD — The Patuxent Roller Derby hosted a "roller prom" Saturday to celebrate the end of their season.

Led by team president Tricky Nicky and treasurer Jillenium Falcon, participants skated around the rink while enjoying tunes from the '80s.

"It’s an open skate. Everyone is rolling around having fun. It’s really great to watch. It seems intimidating but it's not at all," they both told FOX45 News.

An amateur roller derby league, the Patuxent Roller Derby formed in 2021 and consists of skaters from Pennsylvania and Maryland. They started with five skaters and currently have 40 league members ranging from less than a year of experience to 10 years of experience.

Patuxent Roller Derby has been practicing across Howard County at various skating rinks and would like to find a permanent home. The event not only celebrated the end of their season but also helped raise money for a new rink and recruit new teammates.
