The bout will cap off a strong year of growth for the Brick City Bruisers, who have welcomed several new transfers alongside a formidable class of incoming “fresh meat” from GSR’s new skater training program to join a dedicated cohort of veteran GSR teammates. Under the leadership of GSR’s coaching committee and with mentorship from Garden State’s All-Star Ironbound Maidens traveling A-team, the Bruisers have consistently worked hard to level up their gameplay throughout the 2026 season and compete at an advanced level against travel teams fielded by top roller derby leagues across the tri-state and beyond.


The Nov. 14 bout marks the end of GSR’s 20th anniversary season–don’t miss your last chance to celebrate 20 years of the biggest action on the smallest wheels in Northern New Jersey!
