🎉Happy birthday, CrawDaddy!!🎉

CrawDaddy or as we know them, Daddy, joined HARD fall of 2023 and has been rolling with us ever since!

Daddy’s favorite part of roller derby is that it can be a space for us to practice and live out the values that we want to hold in the greater world. 🌎 💫

When Daddy’s not on the track, you can catch her snacking on whatever new spicy gummy snack Novacaine has in their bag!🌶️

Happiest of birthdays, Daddy! Can’t wait to spend the day skating with you!🛼

🎉Happy birthday, Vi for Vendetta!!🎉

Vi joined HARD last year in August😱

Vi’s favorite part of roller derby is the community and the chance to challenge herself!

Their favorite track bag snack is their leftover lunch and snacks from her long day of teaching!🍎

Happy, happy birthday Vi!! We’re so lucky to have you around!💙

🎉Happy birthday, Hexecutioner!!🎉

Hex joined HARD in August of 2025 and has been skating with us since! 💙💫

They love the roller derby community and the way the sport pushes all of us mentally and physically!

Their favorite track bag snack is apple sauce and pineapple coconut water!🥥

Happiest of birthdays, Hex! We’re so excited to spend the day skating with you!🫶🏻

At HARD we like to recognize our players who exemplify what it means to live our vision and values. We do this by passing along a quilt every month that was generously donated and made for us by a player’s family.

Getting passed the quilt means you are empowering others, strengthening connections, and leaving a meaningful legacy on and off the track. In August, Kid Radical passed it off to Hexecutioner and in September, Hexecutioner passed it off to Glamazon Pain Forest! 💫

Congratulations to Glam and thank you for everything you do for the league!👏💙

Life is more whimsical with HARD!✨🪩🧚

Roller Derby is usually hard hits and high speed, but there is definitely some whimsy within the chaos! The most whimsical thing you can do is wear glitter while having fun hitting your friends! 🛼🫶🏻

🚨 EXPERIMENT 626 HAS ESCAPED AND SHE HAS SKATES!! 🚨

Happy birthday to Stitches!!!!! 💙🛼

Needles convinced her to try derby because, allegedly, intimidating new things are a good idea. (Spoiler: they freaking are!!) Now she’s found a place where the rest of the world disappears and she can just play, skate & cause a little chaos.💥

Track bag fuel: Watermelon Sour Patch Kids (or basically anything sour). 🍉🍬

Happy Birthday, Stitches! We love skating with you!!!✨

Today we’re celebrating Glamazon Pain Forest (she/her)! 🎂

Since joining in Fall 2024, she’s taken on the challenge of derby and found some pretty great friendships along the way. 💚Fueled by Nerds Gummy Clusters, GoGo squeeZ, and pure Glamazon energy. 🍬🍎 We love the challenge that Glam always brings to the track!

Happy birthday, Glamazon! ✨🌲

🎉🛼 Happy Birthday, Needles and Threats #11! 🛼🎉

Needles joined HARD in 2023 and has been doing the derby with us ever since! ❤️🖤

Her favorite thing about derby? The way it continues to push her out of her comfort zone every day and challenges her to keep growing. 💪✨

And you can always count on finding pretzels or something sour hiding in her track bag. 🥨🍋

Help us wish Needles and Threats a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎂🥳

🎉 Happy Birthday, Novacaine! 🎉

Nova joined HARD in 2022 and has been rolling with us ever since! What started as putting on a pair of skates turned into competing around the world — something they never imagined they’d be doing. 🛼✨

When Nova isn’t out there doing derby things, you can probably find her enjoying a halftime pickle, gummies… or the ultimate combo: piickle gummies. 😂🥒🍬

We’re so lucky to have you as part of HARD, Nova! We hope your birthday is full of good vibes, great snacks, and absolutely zero penalties. 💚
