Orlando Roller Derby tops SoCal Derby 149-122 for second Ontario win
Orlando closed Ontario with a 149-122 win over SoCal, adding a second straight postseason result and a cleaner path into June 20 at Barnett Park.
Orlando Roller Derby left Waterloo with a second straight Ontario win, beating SoCal Derby 149-122 on Sunday, June 7, 2026, at 2:00 pm. The scoreline mattered as much as the result: Orlando did not just survive one playoff game, it backed up the June 5 win over ACD Rocket Queens with another outing that held up under postseason pressure.
Flat Track Stats listed the bout as part of the 2026 WFTDA Regional Championships: North America - NE Canada, inside a three-day tournament that ran June 5-7 in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, and was hosted by Tri-City Roller Derby. WFTDA identified the Ontario event as a seeded bracket, with seeding based on the April 1, 2026 rankings, and the bracket fed into the 2026 Championships in Malmö, Sweden, from October 15-18.
The 149-122 finish also showed Orlando could keep scoring while SoCal stayed dangerous enough to keep the bout uncomfortable. In flat-track derby, that usually comes down to efficient jamming, pack control and defense that prevents one run from becoming a collapse, and Orlando delivered enough of that mix to finish the weekend on its feet. For a roster trying to build a louder, more ambitious year, the ability to string together multiple competitive games in a short window is the real signal. One win can be a break. Two in the same tournament looks more like form.
The Ontario weekend ended with Calgary Roller Derby taking the playoff, Montréal Roller Derby’s New Skids on the Block placing second and Queen City Roller Derby’s Lake Effect Furies finishing third. WFTDA also named SoCal’s HAM Wheezy MVP Blocker of the tournament and Calgary’s Kris Myass MVP Jammer, reminders that Orlando’s win came against a field full of postseason-level talent.
The result fits the way Orlando has framed 2026. The league’s season page points to new skaters leveling up, harder-hitting bouts, bigger home games, community partnerships and a calendar built around events, collaborations and surprises. That same schedule now turns homeward, with Orlando set for a June 20 doubleheader against Bradentucky Bombers Roller Derby at Barnett Park Gymnasium. After Ontario, Orlando returns with momentum, and with a stronger case that this roster can travel, absorb tournament pressure and still close strong against quality opposition.
