History

Green Mountain had their first home bout in February 2009,[2] were accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in September 2009,[3] and gained full membership of the WFTDA the following September.[4]

By 2010, the league had around 30 skaters.[5] It remained Vermont's only women's flat track roller derby league, and attracted sell-out crowds of around 1,500 people to its bouts.[6]

Green Mountain's old logo

In September 2012, Green Mountain co-hosted (with Montreal Roller Derby)[7] the WFTDA Eastern Regional Tournament in Essex Junction, Vermont, with the Gotham Girls Roller Derby All-Stars of New York City being the winning team.[8][9]

Originally formed as Green Mountain Derby Dames, in May 2015 the league changed its name to Green Mountain Roller Derby, dropping the gender-specific “Dames” from its moniker.[10] It has two teams, which compete against teams from other leagues.
