“Toronto Roller Derby (ToRD), is a women’s flat-track roller derby league in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Formed in 2006, the league started play in 2007, and held its tenth season in 2016. Operated and managed by its skaters and members, ToRD has four house teams, one rookie travel team, and one WFTDA charter travel team. Since 2011, the league has operated out of a space in Downsview Park, but announced in January 2015 that they were in search of a new home. They moved to another space near Downsview Park from 2015 – 2020. When the pandemic hit they lost the venue, and postponed practices until 2022. Since then they have moved to a new venue. After the pandemic the team’s Chicks Ahoy!, Gore-Gore Roller Girls, Death Track Dolls and The Smoke City Bandits have been disbanded and the teams that remain are The All Stars and The Toxins (formerly known as the Vipers). The house league season runs in the spring and summer, with events for ToRD’s all-star travel team scheduled year round. Toronto Roller Derby is a member of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association, having gained membership in June 2011. In December 2011 ToRD served as host of the inaugural Roller Derby World Cup.”
