Contents

Independently run by its members, the Hellmilton Roller Ghouls currently have one team, the Raggedy Angst. [1]

History

The Hellmilton Roller Ghouls were founded in 2009 when Fe Foster (known as Miss Metal Militia) returned home to Hamilton after traveling to Vancouver and becoming involved with the Terminal City Rollergirls. [2]

The Roller Ghouls' first bout as the Raggedy Angst took place in New Plymouth in September 2010 where they claimed a victory.

The team's first home bout titled "Bout Bloody Time" was hosted in September 2011 at the Claudelands Arena and featured multiple teams: The newly-formed Dangerous Curves from the Mount Militia Derby Crew based in Tauranga, the Rumblebees of the Taranaki Roller Corps from New Plymouth, and the main event of Pirate City Rollers' Cannon Brawlers from Auckland taking on the Raggedy Angst. [3]

International competition

In 2011, three skaters (Miss Metal Militia, Poison Petal, and Boom Shakalaka) from Hellmilton Roller Ghouls were selected to be part of Team New Zealand. [4] Together they travelled to compete in the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. [5] Team New Zealand placed 8th out of 13 teams.

In 2014, Hellmilton Roller Ghouls had two skaters selected to play in the Roller Derby World Cup in Dallas, Texas: Miss Metal Militia and Miss Crunchbull. [6] Team New Zealand ranked 5th out of 30 teams worldwide.

Raggedy Angst

Raggedy Angst is the Hellmilton Roller Ghouls' travel team. The team competes against other teams around New Zealand, traveling as well as hosting bouts. [7]

Raggedy Angst's team colors are black and orange.
