Royal City Roller Derby (RCRD) is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Guelph, Ontario. Founded in 2010, the league consists of three teams, plus two travel teams which compete against teams from other leagues. Royal City is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).[1]
Royal City was founded as Royal City Roller Girls in April 2010, and initially trained at West End Rec Centre. By August, it had already grown to forty skaters, but was hit when its practice venue closed.[2] Despite this, the league played its first season in 2011, contesting five bouts,[3] and hosted the Roller Derby Association of Canada Eastern tournament in 2012.[4]
In November 2016, it was announced that Royal City was launching a junior roller derby program in early 2017, geared towards girls between the ages of 9 and 17.[5]
The league's logo and those of its various teams were designed by the cartoonist Seth.[6]
In April 2018, Royal City announced on their social media pages a rebrand as Royal City Roller Derby, and would be updating their logo as well.[7]
WFTDA competitionedit
In October 2013, Royal City was accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program,[8] and became a full member in December 2014.[9] In 2018, Royal City qualified for the first WFTDA Continental Cup, the 2018 North America East edition in Kalamazoo, Michigan, at which they were the seventh seed.[10] After losing their opening game to tenth-seeded Dub City Roller Derby 203-200, Royal City finished in the consolation round with a 239-166 loss to Grand Raggidy Roller Derby.[11]
