History

"Caught in the worldwide whirlwind of roller derby was Miss Metal Militia, who began her training in Vancouver, Canada with Terminal City Rollergirls, after skating artistically as a child. Upon her return to Hamilton, New Zealand, she decided to start a league at home."[2]

For the past five years the Hellmilton Roller Ghouls have hosted representatives from leagues all over New Zealand at the annual International Tattoo and Art Expo.[3] The Hellmilton Roller Ghouls hosted their first bout in 2011, inviting teams from Mount Militia Derby Crew (Mount Maunganui), Taranaki Roller Corps (Taranaki region), and Pirate City Rollers.[4] Later the same year, three women from Hellmilton Roller Ghouls were selected as part of Team New Zealand (Roller Derby Team New Zealand).[5] Together they travelled to compete in the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. These players were Miss Metal Militia, Poison Petal, and Boom Shakalaka.[6] Team New Zealand placed 8th out of 13 teams. In 2014 Hellmilton Roller Ghouls also had two skaters selected to play in the most recent Roller Derby World Cup in Dallas, Texas; Miss Metal Militia and Miss Crunchbull. [7] Team NZ is now ranked 5th out of 30 teams worldwide, with help from these ladies.

Raggedy Angst is the Hellmilton Roller Ghouls' travel team,[2] chosen after try-outs at the beginning of every year. This team competes against other teams around New Zealand, travelling as well as hosting bouts.[8] Raggedy Angst's team colours are black and orange.
