Established in 2008, the Ithaca League of Women Rollers (ILWR) are a full-contact, women's flat track roller derby league. ILWR is a fully skater-owned and operated non-profit with a mission to provide amateur athletic entertainment to the Finger Lakes Region in upstate New York. A proud apprentice member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA)—the official governing body for modern ro

ller derby. The SufferJets were the first home team created by ILWR, in 2010 the second team called the BlueStockings were introduced.

General Hellativity, known in "real life" as David Kornreich, started with our league just learning to skate upright and in the ref lane. He spent more than a decade teaching countless referees, NSOs and skaters the intricate rules of roller derby, often with a GoPro mounted on his helmet.

Dave could be counted on as a voice of reason, and a reliable and committed volunteer. He served on ILWR's Board of Directors and was one of a handful of people who helped rebuild the league after COVID, ripping out the remnants of an abandoned Old Navy alongside skaters to help turn it into our home for the next few years.

We are devastated by his loss, and our thoughts are with his wife and family. Thank you for helping make derby happen, Dave.

Roller derby can look chaotic if you don’t know what you’re watching for, so we made this guide to help! Jammers score, blockers block, refs keep it all fair. Save this post to reference before the next bout, and we hope to see you in the stands (or lawn chairs)! Who knows, you might love it enough to lace up yourself!

New sponsor alert! 🛼
We’re proud to announce Ithaca Roller Derby has been awarded a grant from the Community Foundation !
Established in 2000, CFTC works to bring people and resources together to build a more equitable Tompkins County — inspiring diverse philanthropy, catalyzing collaborations, and championing inclusion and justice. They fundraise for immediate community needs while also building gifts for the future. So many of our members have found community through roller derby - both on and off skates. This grant helps us keep skating, training, and building community right here in Tompkins County. Huge thanks to CFTC for believing in local sport! 💚
