photo credit: © Bob Ayers.
The Terminal City Rollergirls are Vancouver’s first female roller derby league. Created in January 2006, our league has grown to over 150 local women (and men) who have discovered a new way to combine athleticism and creativity.
Terminal City is composed of four house teams: Riot Girls, Public Frenemy, Bad Reputations, Faster Pussycats, and two travel teams: The All-Stars and the B-Side. A rec team: the T-Recs and an amazing group of officials: the Authority Figures.
The Terminal City Rollergirls have a dream, and it’s a big one! Their mission is threefold: to provide live, athletic entertainment that features strong, sassy and smart Vancouver women; to improve each member’s individual athletic ability, self-discipline and character; and to improve the community as a whole. ABOUT VANCOUVER
Vancouver is located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. We are just 220km north of Seattle, Washington, and the furthest southwest corner of Canada. We are surrounded by beautiful beaches and mountains.
To confuse things a little, the tournament will actually be taking place in the city of Richmond. Richmond is just south of Vancouver, separated only by the Fraser River.
The good news is the Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is located in Richmond, and there are a ton of hotels close to the venue/airport.
The venue is none other than the hosting venue for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, no big deal. The Richmond Olympic Oval is located just 5km away from YVR.
We recommend getting out of Richmond and venturing north into Vancouver, take transit or a cab, it’s really close! We are a little city in the big outdoors. There are so many great restaurants, outdoor activities, and things to do and see!
The average temperature in mid September is between 11°C (52°F) and 18°C (64°F), so pack accordingly, we are hoping for sunshine all weekend, but brace yourselves for rain as well. HOW GET TO THE VENUE
