Hard Knox Roller Derby

Our Hard Knox Roller Derby: 20th Birthday Bash & Triple Header is next Saturday! 🎉 And what better nonprofit to feature than Knoxville’s next generation of roller derby players, the Hard Knox Hooligans?! 🛼

You can help support our junior skaters by taking part in the Feed Knuckles fundraiser! Purchase a rubber duck, then chuck it toward the dog bowls to help “feed” Knuckles, our life-size schnauzer mascot. The lucky duck that lands closest to each bowl wins a prize!

Come celebrate 20 years of Hard Knox while helping the next generation of local roller derby grow. 🐶💚

🏍️ GET REVVED UP FOR GNARLY DAVIDSLAM’S BIRTHDAY! 🔥
With more than a decade of derby under her belt, Gnarly got her start in 2015 with Mid-State Roller Derby in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Grad school then took her to Madison Roller Derby before she eventually made her way to Knoxville. Gnarly rolled into her first Hard Knox practice in 2021 and was quick to the track, playing her first game with us in 2022.

At just 5'2", Gnarly knows how to use her size as an advantage. She's quick, consistent, and especially good at finding the smallest openings to slip past opposing blockers. She showed off those skills during her birthday weekend at H***y Tonk Stomp, putting up a whopping 23 points in a single jam!

Happy birthday, Gnarly! We hope you spend it at full throttle. 🏍️🔥

🚨 MOBILE CRISIS BIRTHDAY ALERT 🚨
Help us wish a very happy birthday to our lovably goofy blocker, Mobile Crisis!

She may be a Brawler at heart, but Crisis has been branching out this season. Most recently, she wreaked havoc with the Allstars this past weekend at H***y Tonk Stomp.

And in perhaps the most Mobile Crisis move of all, Crisis was the first person in the chair when the entire Allstars team made a plan to get matching tattoos...and so far, she's still the only person to actually get one. 😂 That is commitment, folks.

Happy birthday, Crisis! We love the laughs, the chaos, and the fact that when you say you’re getting a tattoo, you apparently mean immediately. 💚✨💚

Make some noise for the birthday animal, Mad Dawg! 🐕🎉
Mad Dawg first sank her teeth into roller derby with the Little City Big Trouble junior program in 2010. She then made her Little City Roller Derby rookie debut in 2018 before joining the Hard Knox pack in 2021.

Now one of the Allstars' scrappiest jammers, Mad Dawg is always ready to break loose and leave the opposing pack barking up the wrong tree. Once that star is on her helmet, somebody better close the gate; this dog hunts! 🐾⭐

Happy birthday, Mad Dawg! We hope your week is filled with plenty of treats. Give her some birthday barks in the comments! 🦴🎂
