Jumping the Apex

The Halifax Harbour Grudges are finally given the chance to compete on the international track. But the last 9 years have worn many of their players out, leaving the team rudderless and inexperienced.

The Grudges are back from qualifying for the international roller derby league and jump at the opportunity to play two tournaments in two months. Pressed for time and missing players, the captains strain to develop their rookie team.

The Grudges arrive at their first international tournament with high hopes. They struggle against this new caliber of play, their lack of experience and control leading to heavy penalties.

The Grudges are battle worn after playing their first international tournament. With the next tournament mere weeks away, talk of new strategies worries the players.

The Grudges are in Quebec and ready to play. Their first game goes into double overtime! The second game turns out to be the toughest challenge the Grudges have faced.

The Grudges play against an aggressive team but manage to keep their cool – showing they’ve grown since Quebec. They have their first official tryouts. The roster is announced with disappointing news.
