Green Mountain Roller Derby (GMRD) is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Burlington, Vermont. Founded in 2007, Green Mountain is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). [1]
Green Mountain had their first home bout in February 2009, [2] were accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in September 2009, [3] and gained full membership of the WFTDA the following September. [4]
By 2010, the league had around 30 skaters. [5] It remained Vermont's only women's flat track roller derby league, and attracted sell-out crowds of around 1,500 people to its bouts. [6]
