History
By 2009, the league had more than thirty skaters, and was competing on a monthly basis.[2] In 2013, the league was attracting 300 to 400 fans to each bout, and its B team was particularly successful, winning more than ten bouts in a row.[3]
Jamsterella, a skater from the league, was selected as an alternate for Team USA at the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup.[4]
The league was accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in July 2012,[5] and became a full member of the WFTDA in June 2013.[6]
