History and organization
Founded in July 2010, the league consists of The Border City Brawlers All Stars, who compete in WFTDA sanctioned games, the Canadian Clubbers, a B level travel team and the Windsor ASalts, a C level travel team.
By the start of 2012, the league had about fifty skaters, and was practicing at the Windsor Armories. However, the building was closed for renovation, forcing the training sessions to relocate.[3]
In July 2012, the league was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Programme.[4] In addition, its newer skaters took fourth place in a tournament hosted by Greater Toronto Area Rollergirls in Toronto.[5] On December 23, 2013, Border City was made a full member in the WFTDA.[6]
The league has also received media coverage for raising money for local charities at its bouts.[7] In 2012, the league announced a new inclusive gender policy, affirming that transgender skaters are eligible to join, attracting media attention.[8]
In 2015, Border City introduced a junior roller derby program for girls aged 12 to 17.[9]
In 2019, the league announced a rebrand as Windsor Roller Derby, to better reflect the organization's core values.[10]
