Roller derby may have been popularized in the movies, but in real life it is the hard work and determination of teams like Gold Pain City Derby Girls that have made roller derby a serious sport as well as good entertaining fun.
Roller derby, which was popular in the 1930’s and 1940’s, faded away in the ensuing decades, but made a grand comeback in the 21st century. The Gold Pain City Derby Girls Association was born after two Quesnel women attended a derby bout in Williams Lake and were immediately
hooked on the sport.
