Windy City B edges Madison by six at Udder Chaos opener

Windy City Rollers B Team opened Udder Chaos with a six-point escape, holding off Madison 156-150 in the 11 a.m. sanctioned bout at LEGACY20 Arena DeForest. The June 27 result came in the first real scoreboard check of Madison Roller Derby’s two-day invitational, where 12 games were packed across June 27 and June 28 in DeForest, Wisconsin. For Windy City, listed by Flat Track Stats as WCR: Second Wind, it was the kind of opening win that had to be earned minute by minute rather than handed over by a lopsided bracket.

Flat Track Stats had Second Wind 70th in the pool with a 715.0 rating before the bout, while Madison stood 90th at 692.3. After the game, the site moved Windy City down 8.4 and Madison up 8.4, a small shift that matched the margin on the scoreboard. Windy City skaters Emily Mills, Jo Poniatowski, Apex Quinn and elf Lou Evil Slugger Who-Ha Hazer were among the names tied to the matchup, and the result showed the value of a B team that could stay composed when the game narrowed. WFTDA Stats marked it as Second Wind’s closest ever and listed the team 16th in the NA Northeast regional ranking as of June 26 with a 5-3 record, a useful snapshot of how tight the pressure was against a live home opponent.

Madison had framed Udder Chaos as “Bigger & Butter” and returned the event in a new venue after Fast Forward Skate Center was demolished. The 2026 tournament moved into LEGACY20 Arena DeForest, which Madison described as a brand-new, state-of-the-art site, with tickets on sale and the league’s travel team, the Dairyland Dolls, set to take on out-of-town and out-of-state challengers. The opener fit the setup: a first sanctioned game that asked both sides to treat the weekend as more than a showcase, and Windy City answered with a result that could shape the rest of its bracket path.
