Denali Destroyers Roller Derby
Denali Destroyers Roller Derby is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Wasilla, Alaska. Founded in 2010, the league consists of a single team, which competes against teams from other leagues.
History
The league was founded in July 2010 and played its first season in 2012-2013, winning a majority of its eight bouts. It worked closely with a junior roller derby league, the Valley Vixens, though that junior team dissolved and the Denali Dragons were formed in January of 2024.Denali was accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in October 2012 and became a full WFTDA member in September 2013. However, the league never earned a ranked position within the WFTDA rankings and is no longer a member of WFTDA.
The Denali Destroyers have been involved in a variety of local events, including a bra-related art exhibition.
In June 2023, Denali Destroyer Dolls changed its Facebook profile picture to a new logo, notably dropping the 'Dolls' portion of the team's name. The team has since been known as the Denali Destroyers.
