We are in the same situation

I am a skater for the Pacific Roller Derby league and tried to get rink time at Oahu's Mililani hockey rink. The guy flat out told me if we want a rink to go petition for one like they did. Didnt tax payers money go to that rink???? That just didnt make sense to me because I am a tax payer and so are all the women on our league. I wrote to the Governor, Mayor, and all 9 state representatives and not one of them wrote me back. We practice at Kaneohe Marine Corps base hockey rink, and sad to say but we have way more support from the military base then we do from our own island. Sundays our practice time got taken over by a hockey league, so we had to push our practice time up to 12-2 in the afternoon. We are praciticing at the most hottest time of the day because we have to take what we can get. Our spirits are high, but our options are very limited. We are totally here to support you guys and we stand by you all 100%. Maybe if Big Island and Kauai get a league, people will start to realize, that this sport is coming back and do something about it.

Just another supporter
