The battling babes of the Toronto Roller Derby League have greased their wheels, grabbed their protective gear and are ready to crush each other during the opening of the 2011 flat track season. The 2010 season champions the Gore-Gore Rollergirls have got the leopard skin outfits ready to roll while the Death Track Dolls have their white, black and red uniforms stretched across their taut muscles. The first game of 2011 is scheduled for February 5, 2011 at the Hanger - doors open at 6:30pm, game at 7:30pm. The Gore-Gores destroyed the Dolls by 107 to 43 from the last score left on the board. These are pictures of the Season Opener.

The year started a lot earlier for this, the fifth season, of ToRD. The antham was sung by Natasha Biondillilo - Queer Idol 2010, while the whistle was blown by Toronto Councillor Maria Augimeri (front, in red).
