Welcome to the official PMRD newsletter for the month of December, 2010.

Portland Men's Roller Derby is dedicated to promoting the sport of men's roller derby in Portland, Oregon.  We are composed of men from a wide variety of backgrounds including coaches, referees, amateur skaters, fans, and relocated players.  Our sport and style of play mirrors current WFTDA standards including rules, game play, conduct and skill.
