Portland Men's Roller Derby is an open gender flat track roller derby league in Portland, Oregon, United States. The league was established in 2009.[1][2] In May 2011, The Oregonian reported, "Eventually the Rose City Rollers --the women's league --agreed to lease space to the men at their home base, the Hangar at Oaks Amusement Park in Southeast Portland."[3]
In August 2011, Portland Men's Roller Derby held tryouts for "exceptionally violent skaters of all skill levels" at the Oaks Park hangar, "sometimes in co-ed scrimmages with roller girls".[4]
In December 2011, the league was accepted as a member of the Men's Roller Derby Association.[5] Their first home game after that membership was in Beaverton, on May 26, 2012, with "Holy Roll'n Empire bumping skates against the Bone Daddies".[6]
Benjamin Doyle, a founding member of Portland Men's Roller Derby, was hired in 2020 as director of live broadcast operations.[7]
