Hampton is getting the first local game from the Atlantic Roller Derby team.

The team formed in May 2024 with members from the Maritimes and New England, according to a news release.

They say their goal is to train hard and put on a fierce competition both nationally and internationally.

Their first sanctioned game through the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association was in Kitchener, Ontario, earlier this year. The sanctioned game was against Tri-City Lightning, and then they had two unsanctioned matches against the Peterborough Area Roller Derby and Tri-City Thunder.

And now they’re playing their first local game in the Maritimes to face Roller Derby Québec’s Équipe A.

The game starts at 1 p.m. at the Mike Murphy Memorial Field House on Saturday.
