The Queen City Roller Girls started with three radical, free-thinking, free-wheeling women who love the smell of the rink and the feel of eight wheels under their feet. The League's Manager Sweet Pea moved to Buffalo in April 2006 from Madison, WI where she had skated for the Mad Rolling Dolls Roller Derby League.
Longing for Roller Derby in Buffalo, she found Sissy Fit and Flo Torious via the Internet. Sissy and Flo were also looking into lacing-up some quad skates in order to bring roller derby fever to Buffalo. Sweets, Sissy and Flo pulled their resources together and worked diligently to found Western New York's first and only All-Women Flat Track Roller Derby League-The Queen City Roller Girls. The league has since expanded to a league of roughly 60 kick-ass women with 4 teams which include the Suicidal Saucies, Nickel City KnockOuts, Devil Dollies and the newly formed Sub-Zero Sirens.
