In 1964, Roller Derby’s Chicago Westerners debuted under a new name, the Chicago (Midwest) Pioneers under coach Russ Massro, and women’s captain, Mary Youpelle.  The team was usually a visiting team in the Bay Area but did skate home games in the Chicago area. In the following years, there were several different coaches and captains.  In 1969, the duo of Bill Groll and Ann Calvello would lead the team until the national expansion in the autumn of 1971.  At that point, Gil Orozco and Joan Weston, former Bay Bombers mainstays took over the coach and captain positions of the red, white, and blue Pioneers.  When Gil Orozco returned to the Bombers in the summer of 1972, lead pivot, Ronnie Robinson, took over the coaching duties.  The Pioneers were always a contender at play-off time.  Robinson and Weston ran the team until Derby folded.  The team was re-activated in the International Roller Skating League in 1977.
