Connecticut Roller Derby

Connecticut Roller Derby was launched as "CT RollerGirls" in March 2006, and by early 2009 was attracting up to 500 fans to games held at venues such as the Connecticut Sports Center.^[3]

Connecticut Roller Derby has travel teams and home teams. The home teams play each other, and are the Bone Crushers, the Iron Angels, and the Widowmakers, whereas the two travel teams, The CT All-Stars and The Yankee Brutals, play teams from other leagues, with the All-Stars representing the league at the WFTDA level.^[4]

CT RollerGirls became a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association in early 2007, announced by the WFTDA in May of that year.^[5] In 2009, the CT All-Stars qualified for the WFTDA Playoffs for the first time. Entering the WFTDA Eastern Regional Tournament as the eighth seed, the All-Stars opened their tournament with losses to DC Rollergirls and Providence Roller Derby, before defeating Dominion Derby Girls 156–57 to finish the weekend in ninth place.^[6]
