March 2010 Featured League: Denver Roller Dolls
March 1, 2010
The Denver Roller Dolls (DRD) made waves in 2009 by adopting and perfecting a controversial strategy of controlling pack speed that helped take them all the way to the 2009 WFTDA National Tournament. Their unique approach of alternating between extreme slow play and near sprinting landed them third place and shocked the roller derby community. DRD also recently cemented a relationship with AEG Live/Rocky Mountains and Kroenke Sports Enterprises, leaders in the sports and entertainment marketing field, which some see as a big step toward legitimizing the sport of flat track roller derby.
