History
editThe league was founded by Lishelle Fazzone, who had recently moved to the area, after watching Rollergirls. Originally named Assault City Roller Derby, the league held its first practices in January 2007 at Reva Rollerdrome, in Auburn New York, and played its first bout in February 2008 against the Ithaca League of Women Rollers.[2] A few skaters from Utica began training with the league, and this experience enabled them to found Central New York Roller Derby in late 2007.[3]
By late 2010, the league had about forty-five skaters, of whom about thirty were ready to bout.[4] In July 2011, it was accepted as an apprentice member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association,[5] and it graduated to full membership of the WFTDA in June 2013.[6] By the start of the 2016 season, the league had an almost completely new roster and updated logo.[7] On December 16, 2019, the league rebranded and changed its logo and name to Salt City Roller Derby.[8]
