Dutchland Derby Rollers or Dutchland Rollers, is a women's flat-track roller derby league based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Founded in 2005, the Dutchland Rollers have been a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) [1] since 2008.

History and organization

Dutchland Rollers was founded in 2006 [2] by Jen "Josie Cuervo" Cole. [3] By 2014, home games were attracting between 500 and 800 fans. [4]

The Dutchland Rollers league is composed of two interleague teams, the Dutchland All-Stars (A-Team) and the Dutchland Blitz (B-team). A third team, the C-level Crush, [5] was disbanded ahead of the 2016 season. [6] Home events are held at the Overlook Activities Center in Manheim Township. [7]

All-star skater Vanessa "V-Diva" Sites was a member of Dutchland when named to the inaugural Team USA roster for the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup. [8]

In 2019, Dutchland was the host league for the WFTDA North American East Continental Cup held in Lancaster. [9]

WFTDA competition

Dutchland earned their first WFTDA-sanctioned victory on June 13, 2009, 206-75 against the Long Island Roller Rebels. [10] At the 2010 WFTDA Eastern Regional Tournament, Dutchland fell to Providence Roller Derby, Montreal Roller Derby and DC Rollergirls to finish in tenth place. [11] At the 2011 Eastern Regional, Dutchland opened with a 198-117 victory over Maine Roller Derby, positioning them to face top-seeded Gotham Girls Roller Derby in the quarterfinal. [12] However, in a move widely considered to be controversial, [13] Dutchland opted to forfeit their game against Gotham, determining it would be better for the team's final performance in other games to not play a game they expected to lose by a wide margin. [14] [15] The forfeit was ultimately scored a 100-0 victory for Gotham. [16] Dutchland next played in the consolation round against Montreal, losing 225-124 in a game in which the crowd often expressed its feelings about the forfeit. [17] After a 213-90 loss to Boston Derby Dames Dutchland finished the weekend in eighth place. [18] At the 2012 Eastern Regional, Dutchland lost to Carolina Rollergirls [19] and Montreal, [20] before finishing in tenth place after a 476-107 loss to Steel City Derby Demons. [21]
