The holidays are over. People have packed up the decorations, and a new year has started. But January isn’t only about resolutions and back-to-work doldrums. For many sports fans, January means one thing, and one thing only:
Roller Derby.
That’s right–tonight, I’ll be suiting up as Amelia Dareheart when Everett’s Jet City Roller Girls have their first bouts of the season. And in Seattle, Rat City’s first bouts are on the 21st.
Thanks to the National Post News, here is a handy infographic to help those unfamiliar with the sport understand what they’re seeing:

This infographic is pretty simple, but does its job effectively. The basics of roller derby are laid out in a clean, easy-to-digest format.

Nicely done, National Post.
