Central New York Roller Derby

Fast, physical skating is the specialty of Central New York Roller Derby, a league based in Utica. Its roster is spread across a wide stretch of upstate New York, from Albany to Syracuse along the I-90 corridor and reaching in from the Adirondacks.

Roller derby puts two teams of skaters on a track in a contact sport that is as fun to watch as it is hard to play. For fans looking for a different kind of night out, the league is a lively spectator option, and Oneida County Tourism features it as local entertainment.
