History

The league was founded by a group of women in January 2005.[2] By early 2007, it had played three bouts, and was attracting crowds of several hundred people.[3]

The league joined the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) in May 2008.[4] It qualified for the 2009 WFTDA Eastern Regional Tournament, but was unable to field a team.[5] By 2010, it had grown to more than forty skaters.[6]
