Not only is this a rare opportunity to see Terminal City bouting against our friends from the Island, but it’s also the final event in what has been an exciting Season 11. Get your tickets today, and don’t miss your last chance to cheer for your favourite TCRG house teams this year!
(But don’t despair — we’ve got one more very special event in store before we pack up for the year. Stay tuned for more info!)
It may be the off-season for the house teams, but seriously exciting things are afoot with the Terminal City Rollergirls. We’re hosting B.C.’s first International WFTDA Division 1 Playoffs September 16-18 at the Richmond Olympic Oval. Some of the world’s top teams from Canada, USA, Australia, and Sweden will be playing on our home turf. Make sure you grab tickets in advance!
But that’s not all. Drumroll please…
We’re proud to announce the launch of our brand new roller derby training program: The TCRG Mix Tapes!
The Mix Tapes program is everything roller derby should be: an inclusive environment for all skill levels to learn to skate, learn the basics of roller derby, and train to be drafted to teams.
Never skated before? We can teach you how to stop, fall safely, and learn a strong skating stride. Comfortable on skates thanks to a background in hockey or figure skating? You can quickly advance to and train with others in a group at your level. Not a lot of spare time, but hoping to skate when you can and enjoy the vibrant Vancouver roller derby community? We welcome you to participate as a drop-in.
Do you love roller derby, but you don’t want play? Want to get involved in another way? You should be a TCRG Authority Figure! We’re looking to fill both on and off-skate referee positions.

The Terminal City Rollergirls’ brand new season began with much ado and hoopla on Saturday, April 16, 2016. As in seasons past, TCRG was back home at the Royal City Curling Club in New Westminster. This season marks a milestone for TCRG; being the 10th season, TCRG is reflecting on the how the league and the game has grown and changed in the past 10 years.
Since 2006, The Terminal City Rollergirls has grown to be one of the biggest and most successful Roller Derby Leagues in Canada. What started out as a meeting over nachos with a handful of women has grown to a membership of over 150. Six teams, thousands of hours on skates, hundreds of games and tournaments, one All-Star team ranked among the top 20 in the world and several home grown skaters representing the league as part of Team Canada. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished in our first ten years. We’re proud of where the next ten years will take us. We’re the TCRG and we’re proud to be Ten Years Strong.
The Terminal City Rollergirls’ Season 9.0 wrapped up July 4, 2015 at Royal City Curling Club with a bang! First on the track was the grudge match with the Bad Reputations versus the Faster Pussycats. The following matchup pitted defending champions the Riot Girls against the undefeated Public Frenemy in a bid for the Mercury Shield. Who would reign supreme?
In the match-up for third place, both the Bad Reputations and the Faster Pussycats were looking for redemption. Both teams had lost in last year’s champs, and neither wanted to lose this match-up. The Bad Reps hit the ground running, powering to an early lead due to the explosive jamming of Traumatic Acid and Loca Smoke-ya. For the Pussycats, tough blocker walls by the Bad Reps and jammer penalties for the ‘Cats hurt their chances of recouping the lost points. At half time, the Pussycats had 60 points to the Bad Reputations 101 points.
