Ohio Roller Girls

The Ohio Roller Girls were the first modern roller derby in Ohio, founded in 2005 in Columbus. Their first season was in 2006, and kicked off with four home teams. In late 2008, the league voted to play interleague only, facing off against competition from all corners of the WFTDA as the Ohio Roller Girls All Stars (the Charter Team which plays for rankings) and Gang Green (B Team).

Ohio hosted the first ever WFTDA East regional tournament in 2007, Heartland Havoc, as well as the 2010 WFTDA Annual Meeting, Oh!Con.

Ohio's charter team has appeared at Heartland Havoc (2007), Philly's East Coast Derby Extravaganza (2007-2009), Ft Wayne's Fall Brawl (2008), Brewcity's Midwest Brew Ha Ha (2010,-2013), Naptown's Monumental Mayhem (2011), Queen City's Thrill of the Spill (2012), and in 2014 both the Fort Wayne Division 1 Playoffs and Division 1 Championships.

OHRG plays double-header bouts in Columbus at the Ohio Expo Center (state fairgrounds), generally from February - August.
