History

[The] Big Easy Rollergirls had its first bout on September 17, 2006. This happened before roller derby was featured in commercials, and on the news, and in everyday vernacular. This came after two years of hard work and a year after the biggest national disaster to ever hit the United States. This happened because of the hard work of a few individuals.

From the founders:
Kate Parker (Cherry Pi), Laura Mogg (little maSCARa) and Jeannie Detweiler (Galaxy Grrl).

And the original members – the few who were with BERG before [Hurricane Katrina] and after:
Melissa Hall (Marquee de Squad), Jocelyn Wright (Jaws), Veronica Russell (Vandal O’Riley), Abby Van Deerlin (Sophie Nuke’Em) and Sally Asher(SmasHer).
