History

The first roller derby league in Sweden, Stockholm Roller Derby was founded by Nattis Mörkenstam, Linn Hultström, Jenny Stendahl, Emmelie Bogårdh and Michel Diaz Nocetti and initially practised in a garage. They struggled to find a permanent practice venue, and initially recruited only slowly. However, the league received a major boost when the film Whip It! was released, and found training space in an abandoned shopping mall. [3] By mid-2010, the league had forty skaters, while three other leagues had emerged in the country, including the Crime City Rollers. [4]

Stockholm played their first bout in October 2010, against Helsinki Roller Derby, and took part in the first all-Swedish bout in March 2011, against Crime City. [5] The league also participated in the first Scandinavian tournament, "Battle of the Nordic Light", [6] losing to Helsinki but beating Copenhagen. [7]

In October 2011, Stockholm became an apprentice member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association, [8] and it graduated to full membership in December 2012. [9] Seven of Stockholm's skaters were selected to play for Team Sweden at the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup. [10]

WFTDA competition

At the first European WFTDA tournament in November 2012, "Track Queens Battle Royal", [11] Stockholm came at third place out of ten bouting teams, defending their ingoing ranking [12] for the tournament. Stockholm first qualified for the international WFTDA Division 1 Playoffs in 2015, entering the Dallas tournament as the fifth seed, and finishing in seventh place. [13] In 2016, Stockholm returned to Division 1 Playoffs, entering the Vancouver tournament as the eighth seed and again finishing in seventh place. [14] At the 2017 Malmo Division 1 Playoff, Stockholm won their opening game against Terminal City Rollergirls 197-145, [15] but then lost their quarterfinal against Denver Roller Derby, 330-152. [16] Stockholm finished the weekend with a 184-166 consolation bracket victory over Kallio Rolling Rainbow. [17] In 2018, Stockholm qualified for the WFTDA Playoff in A Coruña, Spain, finishing out of the medals with a consolation round loss to 2×4 Roller Derby, 208-172. [18] [19] [1]
