GRAND RAGGIDY ROLLER GIRLS and GRIFFINS HOCKEY!
On December 4th, two of the best things on skates in West Michigan will converge on Van Andel Arena! Join your favorite roller girls, the Grand Raggidy Roller Girls in the stands, as the Grand Rapids Griffins‘ host the Rockford Icehogs. So get ready to hoot and holler and grab a dog and some beers for a dollar with The Grand Raggidy Roller Girls and watch some great Griffins Hockey!
To make the night even better (Can it really get better?), if you buy a $13 ticket from your Grand Raggidy Roller Girls, you’ll get a chance to sit in sections 207/208. What makes these sections so intriguing? Its where your Grand Raggidy Roller Girls will be sitting (or more likely standing) as they cheer on their favorite hockey team-the Griffs. And you’ll get to watch as between periods the Grand Raggidy Roller Girls get out onto the ice to promote the only sport as tough as hockey-roller derby-and the only sports team in western Michigan as tough as the Griffins-your Grand Raggidy Roller Girls. Also, everyone who purchases a ticket from Grand Raggidy will get a chance to enter a drawing for free stuff including a chance at the Grand Prize, bubble hockey game. At least one person from the Grand Raggidy group is guaranteed to win!
Finally, there’s one more thing to make this night the best night of our long winter (Okay, not better than a roller derby bout, but darn close.), you can buy a blue ($1) or green ($3) puck from your Grand Raggidy Roller Girls. Purchasing these lucky pucks is your chance to participate in Throw for Dough and possibly win $5,000.
Van Andel Arena doors open at 6:00 p.m. and hockey action starts at 7:00 p.m. as the Grand Rapids Griffins take on the Rockford Icehogs.
Ticket prices are $13 and can be purchased by calling 616-752-8475 or by emailing the Grand Raggidy Roller Girls at contact@grandraggidyrollergirls.com. But make sure you buy your tickets from a Roller Girl as all money raised from ticket sales and Throw for Dough sales goes to support Grand Raggidy.

Your GRRG’s have been involved with the West Michigan Lupus Alliance since 2006. Lupus has affected many GRRG families and is a charity close to our hearts. Please join us in support for services and a cure!
Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that is hard to diagnose, difficult to manage and if not treated can become life threatening. In simple terms, lupus develops when the body becomes “allergic to itself.” There is no cure for lupus. Lupus affects adult women 10 times more frequently than men. Lupus is more prevalent than sickle cell anemia, cerebral palsy and cystic fibrosis, yet it is the least known of all major diseases.
