If I were to have a daughter and she would be like anyone.......it would be like Craisy Dukes! She is one of the most solid people I know.

Craisy Dukes..

Is amazing, and I totally second that. Dukes is definitely role model material.

Congratulations PRD!

Thanks for all the kind words and DNN for acknowledging this honor. We were very excited about winning this award. We thought we were going to get "Best Roller Derby Team in RI," so this was definitely an awesome surprise! ;)
