For Immediate Release
Buffalo’s Queen City Roller Girls PLAYOFFS DOUBLE HEADER
The Alley Kats take on the defending league champions, the Nickel City Knockouts. The Suicidal
Saucies look to take back to back wins against the Devil Dollies to advance to the Championship
game.
Buffalo, NY – The Queen City Roller Girls regular season is officially over, and it is now time to
decide who will be going to the championship bout. Following a 3-0 regular season, the two-time
defending champions Nickel City Knockouts look to get things started towards a three-peat
against the Alley Kats. The last time these two teams met earlier this year, the Knockouts
defeated the Kats 250-54. The Kats are looking to prove themselves as contenders as they try for
an upset to launch themselves back to the QCRG Championship for the first time since 2010.
Will they be able to pull off a win against the team that has not lost a home game since 2011?
Meanwhile, the 1-2 Devil Dollies face off against longtime rivals the Suicidal Saucies (2-1) in
hopes of returning to their fourth consecutive championship bout while the Saucies look to regain
the form they had in winning 4 straight QCRG Championships during their 2007 to 2010 run. The
last home game of the regular season, the annual Hell on Wheels, always pits the Suicidal Saucies
against the Devil Dollies. This year’s game was an exciting one in which the Suicidal Saucies
took home the win. If you missed it, come see what is sure to be an exciting re-match. Both
teams are determined to make it to the QCRG Championship bout, but only one will emerge
victorious!
These games will be played in a traditional playoff format, with the #1 seed, Nickel City
Knockouts, vs. #4 seed, Alley Kats, and the #2, Suicidal Saucies, vs. #3, Devil Dollies, in a
double header of non-stop action. These teams are fighting for the chance to play in the
Championship bout on June 7th. How will it play out? Come to the rink and find out first hand!
Doors will open at 6:00, with the first bout (Knockouts vs. Kats) starting at 6:30, and the second
(Saucies vs. Dollies) starting at 8:45.
