History

Nidaros was the first roller derby league in Norway, [2] founded in August 2010, [3] and had more than thirty skaters by November. [4] By late 2011, it was one of three roller derby leagues in Norway, and was a finalist in the national "Klubben i mitt hjerte" (club in my heart) competition. [5]

In October 2012, Nidaros was accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Programme, [6] and it became a full WFTDA member in September 2013. [7] Nidaros has two teams, an A and a B team, which play teams from other leagues. [8]

WFTDA competition

In 2016, Nidaros became the first team from Norway to qualify for WFTDA Playoffs, placed in the Division 2 Playoff in Lansing, Michigan. [9] At Lansing, Nidaros lost their first two games to Wasatch Roller Derby [10] (Salt Lake City, Utah) and Tri-City Roller Derby [11] (Kitchener, Ontario), before defeating Grand Raggidy Roller Girls (Grand Rapids, Michigan) 168–137 to finish in ninth place.
