High Altitude, Terminal City dominate roller derby Summer Slam blowouts
High Altitude and Terminal City piled up 300-plus scores at Summer Slam, while Bouldr Bolters were held under 100 in all four losses.
High Altitude and Terminal City turned Summer Slam into a separation test, and Bouldr Bolters came out on the wrong end twice in 24 hours. At the Royal City Curling Club in New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada, the two-day invitational hosted by Terminal City Roller Derby produced a slate where the biggest names separated fast and stayed separated, with Terminal City reaching 329 points and High Altitude clearing 300 of its own.
The June 21 card was the clearest snapshot of that gap. High Altitude opened the day by routing Bouldr Bolters 303-61, a 242-point margin that underlined how quickly the pace tilted. Eves Encore then handled Bouldr Bolters 192-75, while Terminal City delivered the day’s biggest total by beating TM Big Sky 329-81. Dundee closed the list with a 239-178 win over Manchester, a more competitive bout than the earlier blowouts but still a 61-point result that kept the line between contender and chaser firmly visible.
The weekend had already started in the same direction. On June 20, High Altitude beat San Fernando 190-91, and Terminal City topped Bouldr Bolters 198-77. That repeat success matters because it was not built on one runaway score. High Altitude posted back-to-back wins over opponents held below 100, and Terminal City did the same while pushing its own offense to 300-plus the next day. In a 9-sanctioned-game round robin plus one regulation game, that kind of consistency is the sort of thing that can reshape how a team looks heading out of an invitational.
The rankings add another layer to the results. High Altitude entered ranked 53rd in North America West, Terminal City was 63rd, and Bouldr Bolters sat 86th. High Altitude’s highest-ever regional ranking was 34th in February 2023, Terminal City’s was 17th in April 2015, and Bouldr Bolters’ best mark was 66th in October 2024. The numbers suggest these were not top seeds crushing random fill-ins, but clubs with real regional track records forcing their way back into the conversation. Dundee’s 239-178 win over Manchester carried similar weight in Europe, where Dundee was ranked 65th and Manchester 85th as of June 26, with the European Regional Championships already completed in Namur, Belgium, and the Oceania Regional Championships set for Victoria, Australia on June 27-28.
