WOW. 1st off I want to say that I'm a supporter of the Maui Roller Girls but what are you guys doing. Unlike our team captain I've been living in Kihei since before the rink was built. So I saw what they went through to be able to bring roller hockey and public skating to Maui. We need to find and build our own facility with donations and local business support just like they did. I know it will be hard. Like you said at the end of the article Kelly we don't have any money for rent so paying for insurance for accidents like the broken elbow that Sara got a couple weeks ago or the dislocated shoulder from another girl last week will be a challenge but we can't expect a bunch of volunteers to break their 10 year old lease with the county and sublet time to us. Since they're non-profit we can't pay them anyways. I love the edgy punk attitude of our girls. That's why the bars and bands love us but to say we're "family friendly" is pushing it especially with our fans getting caught drinking beer and smoking in the stands next to the kids at open skate. I know that sounds direct but come on if we really want to have good practices and compete with Oahu we need to stop wasting our time trying to sit at someone else’s dinner table.
