Founded in 2005, the league currently consists of three house teams who compete against teams from other leagues, an all-star travel team, and a men's team. The league was founded in 2005, and claims to have been the first flat-track roller derby league in Canada.〔"(All About the Oil City Derby Girls )", Oil City Derby Girls〕 By the following February, it had 14 skaters, and was known as the "Oil City Rollers". Although it briefly planned to expand across Canada,〔"(Local Oil City Rollers hoping for a roller derby renaissance )", ''Edmonton Journal'', 20 March 2006〕 other leagues emerged in other cities, and E-Ville Roller Derby split from Oil City to produce two leagues in the city.〔"(OCDG Press and Media )", Oil City Derby Girls〕 In January 2009, Lesley McDonald, a skater with Oil City, founded the Canadian Women's Roller Derby Association,〔Thane Burnett, "(Today's roller girls are hell on wheels )", ''Sun Media'', 24 February 2009〕 By September 2010, the league was hosting bouts in a 3,000-capacity venue.
