Stockholm Roller Derby (STRD) is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Stockholm, Sweden. Founded in 2007, the league currently consists of two teams which compete against teams from other leagues. Stockholm is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).[1]

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.[2] By mid-2010, the league had forty skaters, while three other leagues had emerged in the country, including the Crime City Rollers.[3]

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.[4] The league also participated in the first Scandinavian tournament, "Battle of the Nordic Light",[5] losing to Helsinki but beating Copenhagen.[6]

In October 2011, Stockholm became an apprentice member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association,[7] and it graduated to full membership in December 2012.[8] Seven of Stockholm's skaters were selected to play for Team Sweden at the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup.[9]

WFTDA competition

At the first European WFTDA tournament in November 2012, "Track Queens Battle Royal",[10] Stockholm came at third place out of ten bouting teams, defending their ingoing ranking[11] 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.[12] In 2016, Stockholm returned to Division 1 Playoffs, entering the Vancouver tournament as the eighth seed and again finishing in seventh place.[13] At the 2017 Malmo Division 1 Playoff, Stockholm won their opening game against Terminal City Rollergirls 197-145,[14] but then lost their quarterfinal against Denver Roller Derby, 330-152.[15] Stockholm finished the weekend with a 184-166 consolation bracket victory over Kallio Rolling Rainbow.[16]
