Boston Roller Derby wins first place in The Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) Division 2 Championship Tournament held in Pittsburgh from Aug. 18-20.

The 2017 Tournament marked Boston Roller Derby’s 11th appearance in playoff gameplay.

In addition to the gold medal win, Boston Massacre blocker Little Loca was named Tournament MVP for her overall performance throughout Boston’s five wins.

About Boston Roller Derby: We are Boston’s first flat track roller derby league and proud members of the WFTDA. Boston Roller Derby has been skating their hearts out since May 2005 when a group of ambitious women began training at hockey rinks throughout greater Boston. They became one of the founding members of WFTDA and held their debut game in March 2006. Over the past decade, BRD has grown into a league with three interleague teams: The Boston Massacre (A Team), the Boston B Party (B Team), and the Boston Common (C Team), along with four intraleague (or home) teams: the Cosmonaughties, the Harbor Horrors, the Nutcrackers and the Wicked Pissahs.
