Just a few days ahead of Arizona Derby Love Day (November 22), Michi-chan Sports is proud to announce that we have completed a major milestone in the DerbyData Project.  The DerbyData Project was intended to restore the data that existed on the prior DerbyData and Michi-chan websites that ran from 2007~2013 and to also fill in the gaps in coverage for the entire time from when the very first modern resurgence roller derby bout was played in Tempe on November 22, 2003 to today.  

On Wednesday (October 29, 2025), a fire that started outside caused serious damage to the roof of the warehouse used as the primary venue for Angel City Derby, located at 785 E. 14th Pl. in Los Angeles.  The fire was first reported at 8:16AM.  When crews from Los Angeles City Fire Department arrived, they indicated that smoke was showing from the roof.  Firefighters went into an offensive mode and saw fire showing through the hole that they cut in the roof.

November is here and where it comes to derby in Arizona, there are definitely no turkeys.  

When you are in a city with multiple derby leagues, having two leagues scheduling bouts on the same night is not always fun.  Sometimes, it can be because of scheduling venue space.  But it is understandable.  

Both Arizona Derby Dames (AZDD) and Arizona Roller Derby (AZRD) have derby action scheduled for Saturday, October 11. 

Tucson Roller Derby is coming back to life and is now finally coming home.
