The league joined the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) in May 2008.[4] It qualified for the 2009 WFTDA Eastern Regional Tournament, but was unable to field a team.[5] By 2010, it had grown to more than forty skaters.[6]

The current head coach is Roxie Riot and the current Head Official is Registered Curse.[7]
