Derby returns to Douro on May 27 as Peterborough Area Roller Derby hosts its 2017 season opener – THE PIVOT OF OZ -- at the Douro Arena and Community Centre at 2893 Highway 28. Doors open at 4pm, with full contact games starting at 5 and 7pm.

The first game features the return of Toronto Mens Roller Derby’s “Toronto Outrage”, working it out on the track against a surprise rival team – always an exciting bout. At 7pm, PARD’s "Riverside Riot Squad" and GTARollergirls’s “Derby Debutantes” hit the track in a rematch from 2016.

Tickets are $15 at the door, or get them in advance for $10 from a skater, from Things from Mom’s Basement on Charlotte St, or online at: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2931465 .

Peterborough Area Roller Derby was formed on March 31, 2015 as Area 705 and Peterborough Roller Derby Leagues joined forces for the consolidation and celebration of flat track roller derby in the Peterborough Area, and incorporated as a not-for-profit in 2016. PARD works hard to promote a strong and positive image for local athletes. Home bouts happen at the Douro Arena and Community Centre, while teams also travel across Ontario to compete.
