High Altitude and Terminal City dominate Summer Slam 2026 in New Westminster
High Altitude and Terminal City turned Summer Slam into a two-team statement, stacking blowout wins and a 183-90 head-to-head that set the weekend's pecking order.
At Royal City Curling Club, 75 E Sixth Ave., Summer Slam 2026 became a clear test of hierarchy fast. Terminal City Roller Derby hosted the two-day invitational in New Westminster, and the City of New Westminster billed it as the league’s annual Summer Slam competition, with 10 games spread across June 20 and June 21, entry by donation, and parking, food and drinks on site.
The first results set the tone. High Altitude opened with a 190-91 victory over San Fernando Valley Roller Derby’s As Ifs, then Terminal City answered with a 198-77 win over Boulder County Roller Derby’s Bolters. Those margins mattered because they came against opponents with real regional standing: High Altitude was ranked 53rd in North America West around the event, Terminal City 63rd, San Fernando 73rd, and Team Montana: Big Sky Rollers 70th. Against that tier, the top teams did not merely survive the weekend, they controlled it.
Saturday tightened the title conversation when Terminal City beat High Altitude 183-90, a result that made the event feel less like an open invitational and more like a measuring stick for the top of the field. The same day also produced one of the event’s biggest swings, with EoD: Encore routing Team Montana 264-79 and San Fernando answering later by beating Team Montana 307-68. The rest of the field could still score in bursts, but those games showed how quickly the top end separated when the pace rose.
Sunday only sharpened the divide. High Altitude crushed Boulder 303-61, EoD: Encore topped Boulder 192-75, and Terminal City closed with a 329-81 win over Team Montana. High Altitude finished the weekend with two wins, both by at least 99 points, while Terminal City posted three emphatic results, including the 93-point win over High Altitude and the 248-point demolition of Team Montana. That is the kind of consistency that signals more than a hot weekend: it marks a team that can dictate terms across multiple games, against multiple styles, over two days.
Summer Slam’s clustered scoreboard told a straightforward story. High Altitude and Terminal City did not just win games in New Westminster; they established themselves as the standard everyone else had to chase.
