There is a new sport in town and to get things rolling the Fergus Roller Derby team welcomed a legend into their ranks.
Sandrine Rangeon, also known as Francey Pants, who has been a competitive athlete on four roller derby teams, including Montreal’s New Skids on the Block, Team Bionic and Team France.
Rangeon Francey Pants currently plays in Colorado with the Denver Derby Dolls. She stopped in to teach the ladies from across Wellington County practice drills.
Surrounding leagues and teams were also invited to share Francey Pants’ knowledge of this fast-growing women’s sport.
The new Fergus Roller Derby team also recently hosted a charity scrimmage that raised $250 for the Paisley Perrie Booster fund to help send the in-line skater to the world championships this fall.
The Fergus team is looking for women in Centre Wellington and surrounding areas to try out. For information, email info@fergusrollerderby.com.
