Sugar & Vice

Call me Sugar

 Choosing a derby name is a very big deal for a derby player, so I thought long and hard.  It just kind of came to me and fit my personality and what i wanted to portray.  

My number, 69, is the year I was born.  Because I have a twisted sense of humor, people always think it is reference to a sexual preference, so I love acting all offended when they tease me about it.

 

Joined GnR:  May 5th 2009.

Biggest asset: I am a hard hitter and good at being in they way of the jammer. 

Theme song: Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leopard of course, but the songs that get me really pumped up are You Got Another Thing Comin by Judas Priest, Dirty Deeds by my all time favorite rock band ACDC, and our team theme song Welcome to the Jungle really gets me ready to tear things up.

Power Animal: I have a lot.  Ask me about it some time.

What you love about derby: I LOVE MY TEAM!!!  I get to spend time with smart, strong, powerful woman who all have the same goal, to be the best team we can be.  Beyond these amazing women, I love that there is a game for girls and women that don't fit into the little box society assigns women.  What other game has a place for fast, small, athletic women and big powerful bruisers.  Derby does. 

Day-job: I am an addictions and mental health therapist in a residential treatment program for adults. 

Other hobbies besides derby: Is there anything other than derby?  With work and derby, I don't have allot of hobby time, but I like to read, do bead work, kayak and spend time with my dog and cats.  I hope to get a motor cycle some day so I can do some riding around our beautiful region.
