Each month, check this space for a breakdown of sanctioned games completed by Canadian MRDA

June was another stellar, albeit quiet, month for Canadian teams in the MRDA, as squads from the
“Great White North” continued to push towards a potential playoff appearance this October in Texas.
After posting a spotless 3-0 record in the month of May, Montreal’s Mont Royals (#16) continued their
busy playing schedule by travelling to Pennsylvania for East Coast Derby Extravaganza, where they
played two sanctioned games against Mass Maelstrom Roller Derby (#11) and Jersey Boys Roller
Derby (#20).
After coming up empty-handed in a tough, bruising battle against the Maelstrom on Friday night, the
Mont Royals recovered to hand the Jersey Boys their worst loss in league history.

Mont Royals 569 Jersey Boys 29
