Hailing from New York City, this league of hard working, committed skaters has been building a legacy since 2003. They face challenges (such as finding space) and reap the benefits (lots of interested skaters) of their location in a bustling metropolis. In addition to establishing themselves through a variety of outreach programs as a valuable member of the NY community, they produce their own bout coverage, which is broadcast on local television, and they are the first repeat winners of the annual WFTDA Championship tournament.
