History
The league was founded in September 2009 by Charlie Hedman, a Swedish skater who had returned from a visit to the United States.[2] Their internet posts calling for skaters to join the new league was seen by Ana Killingspree, a former skater with the Mad Rollin' Dolls who was then living in Aarhus. Together, the two built Copenhagen Roller Derby,[3] which played its first bout in June 2010, winning against the Hamburg Harbor Girls.[2] The league then played seven bouts in 2011, facing the Royal Windsor Rollergirls, Gent Go-Go Rollergirls, Bedfordshire Rollergirls, Berlin Bombshells, Crime City Rollers, Stockholm Roller Derby, Kallio Rollin Rainbow and the Hamburg Harbor Girls.[2]
By the end of 2011, the league had 95 members, and was one of three active leagues in Denmark, the others being based in Aarhus and Odense.[4] In October 2012, Copenhagen was accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Programme.[5] Copenhagen graduated to full WFTDA membership in December 2013.[6]
