Madison Roller Derby returns to track after two year hiatus

This marked the first Madison Roller Derby since 2020 when COVID-19 indefinitely suspended one of the nation’s first roller derby leagues.
Right off of the exit for highway twelve, the Keva Sports Center is mostly unassuming, a product of suburban sprawl. But a line of cars overflows from its stuffed parking lot. The cars belong to an eclectic crowd there for a shared interest in both the carnage and camaraderie of the derby.
