Boston Roller Derby B crushes Ann Arbor B 263-70 in Everett

Boston Roller Derby’s B team did more than win at Big Dig 2026. It turned Allied Veterans Memorial Rink in Everett into a proof-of-concept for how a deep B squad should function, closing the weekend with a 263-70 rout of Ann Arbor B that stretched the margin to 193 points and completed a clean three-win run on home ice.

That kind of score does not happen on raw talent alone. Putting up 263 points in a sanctioned bout usually means the jammer rotation stayed efficient, the pack stayed organized, and the bench kept feeding the lineup with skaters who could preserve pressure from one jam to the next. Boston B had already beaten Gotham Traitor 164-78 and Grand Raggidy 273-41 on June 13, then came back on June 14 and never let the pace dip. For a B team, that is the real story: not one hot lineup, but a system that kept producing.

The matchup was not a mismatch between strangers on different planets. Boston B entered the game ranked 36th in NA Northeast, with Ann Arbor B right behind at 37th. The numbers on their WFTDA team pages said the same thing: Boston at 75.93 GPA and Ann Arbor at 74.47, each sitting at 5-3 through eight games. Boston’s margin came against a legitimate regional opponent that had enough strength to rank in the same neighborhood, which makes the blowout more revealing, not less.

Big Dig itself framed the result as part of a larger weekend test. Boston Roller Derby scheduled the tournament for June 13-14 at 65 Elm Street in Everett, with Boston B playing Gotham B on Saturday and Ann Arbor B on Sunday. The league’s B side answered with a sweep that reinforced the value of a volunteer-run program with real development depth. Boston Roller Derby describes itself as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and volunteer-run league, and this was the payoff: a roster pipeline that can produce a team capable of controlling pace, absorbing a two-day workload, and still finishing with its sharpest result of the weekend.

Boston B’s 273-41 win over Grand Raggidy on Saturday was already the club’s best-ever result on its team page, and the 263-70 win over Ann Arbor B showed that the ceiling was not a one-off. In a region where rankings can move quickly, Boston B left Everett with a clearer message than any single scoreline could provide: this is a B team built to pressure opponents from the opening whistle to the final jam.
