The Garden State Roller Derby will be capping off their 2026 season with a high-octane, 20th anniversary bout in North Jersey on Saturday, Nov. 14.
The Brick City Bruisers of Newark will meet their counterparts from the Jersey Shore Roller Derby at 6 p.m. at the Inline Skating Club of America in North Arlington for a "family-friendly, full-contact smackdown."
Adult tickets are $20 at the door or $16.30 in advance if purchased online at GSR's Ticketleap page. Children under 12 are half price, under 4 are free. Learn more or buy tickets online here.
The bout will cap off a strong year of growth for the Brick City Bruisers, who have welcomed several new transfers alongside a formidable class of incoming players from GSR's new skater training program to join a dedicated cohort of veteran teammates.
Proudly celebrating 20 years since its founding in 2006, the Garden State Roller Derby is New Jersey's oldest operating flat-track roller derby league. The GSR is a member of the North American Northeast Division of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association. The league has two traveling teams: the all-star Ironbound Maidens and the B-team, the Brick City Bruisers. In addition, there are two home teams – the Northern Nightmares and the Gateway Grim Reapers – who bout against each other throughout the season.
