WFTDA competition edit

The league was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice program in July 2011,[4] and it became a full member of the WFTDA in September 2012.[5] In September 2011, Helsinki competed in the Battle of the Nordic Light, the first roller derby tournament in Scandinavia.[6]

During 2013, Helsinki played in the first Suomi Cup of roller derby, taking second place in the tournament after losing narrowly to Kallio Rolling Rainbow in the final.[7]

In 2015, Helsinki qualified for the WFTDA Division 1 Playoffs for the first time, traveling to Omaha, Nebraska for the tournament in October,[8] where they finished seventh by defeating Buffalo, New York's Queen City Roller Girls, 274-199.[9] In 2016, Helsinki returned to Division 1 Playoffs, entering the Madison tournament as the sixth seed, and finishing in sixth place.[10] As the fifth seed at the 2017 Division 1 Playoff in Malmö, Helsinki won their opening game against Charm City Roller Girls 308-144,[11] but then lost their quarterfinal against the host Crime City Rollers 215-170.[12] Helsinki finished their weekend with a consolation bracket victory over Calgary Roller Derby Association, 365-107.[13] In 2018, Helsinki competed at the WFTDA Playoff in A Coruña, Spain, finishing their weekend in the consolation round with a 208-172 loss to 2×4 Roller Derby.[14]
