Albany All Stars Roller Derby (AASRD) is a flat track roller derby league based in Albany, New York.[1] AASRD was founded in 2006[2][3] and was the capital region's first flat track roller derby league.[4] The league is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association and consists of two teams: the All Stars and the Brawl Stars.[5][6] Home bouts are held at the Washington Avenue Armory.[7]

League history

AASRD was founded in 2006 by six skaters and originally consisted of two teams.[8] Since the league was founded, home teams have included the Department of Public Hurts (DPH), the Empire Skate Troopers (EST)[9][10] the Skate-o-Masochists,[11] and the Capital City Legislayers (CCL). The league also has two inter-league teams: the WFTDA-chartered A team, the All Stars, and the non-chartered B team, the Brawl Stars.[12][13]

After their inaugural season they were voted "Best New Sports Team" in the Metroland Reader's Poll.[14]

Charitable work or activity

Skaters for the Albany All Stars are involved in charitable activities throughout the year;[15][16] they have even rappelled off buildings to fund raise for the Special Olympics[17] and streaked down Lark Street as a sponsor of the Santa Speedo Sprint[18] to benefit The Albany Damien Center. A portion of their home bout raffles have always been donated to a large variety of local charities.

Awards and recognition

The Albany All Stars Roller Derby League is mentioned in several local "best of" lists including: Metroland Readers' Poll – "Best Time to be Had in the Capital Region for Under $10" (2011)[19] Metroland Readers' Poll – "Best Place to See and be Seen" (2011)[19] Metroland Readers' Poll – "Best Evidence That the Region Is Looking Up" (2009)[20] Metroland Readers' Poll – "Best Time to be Had in the Capital Region for Under $10" (2009)[20] Metroland Readers' Poll – "Best New Sports Team" (2008)[14]
