The Denver Roller Dolls' traveling all-star team the Mile High Club took second at the third annual Golden Bowl in Chicago, IL. The Mile High Club faced as a tough schedule, playing three games in two days against nationally ranked Bay Area All-Stars, the Texas all-star team The Texecutioners, and the home town Windy City All-Stars. The Mile Club played three hard-fought games, triumphing over Bay Area and losing to Texas and Windy City. However, the games were very close and because of the point spread and records of the other teams, the Mile High Club took second in the tournament.
