Dolls, Chicks hit Leaside as roller girls play Millwood arena

The Toronto Roller Derby has found a new home at Leaside Memorial Community Arena and will kick off the season with a three-match round-robin tournament this Saturday, June 15 at 3 p.m. The TRD lost its long-standing home affectionately known as The Bunker last year. That was the auditorium at Downsview Park, for many years the scene of roller dramatics. It has now been leased out as a studio for film and move production. At the time, league president Mina Smart called it a significant setback. The six TRD teams will stage another tourney at the Millwood Rd. arena July 15.
