The Brewcity Bruisers is a skater-owned and operated flat track roller derby league. During the home season, four local teams (all part of Brewcity Bruisers league) square off in rotating double-header bouts: Rushin’ Rollettes, Shevil Knevils, Maiden Milwaukee, and the Crazy 8’s.
Established in 2005, the Brewcity Bruisers are constantly looking to evolve and grow. “Every year we have new skaters hit the rink, and our athletic training increases tremendously,” said Comstock. “The Bruisers offer audiences the perfect combination of athletic competition and entertainment, all produced by amateur women athletes in southeastern Wisconsin.”
