About
The Pirate Union
After years of the pandemic the entire NZ roller derby community had been impacted with no new players joining the sport and experienced players retiring.
PCR executive looked wider and gathered high level players from across the North Island to form a ‘super troupe’ with a focus on success at an international level.
